Dropped support for Python 2.7 and Debian 10 Buster. Added support for

Debian 12 Bookworm. Numerous minor improvements and fixes.

**Breaking changes:**

* All roles

  * Dropped support for Debian 10 (Buster).

  * Added support for Debian 12 (Bookworm).

  * ``netaddr`` Python package is now required for using the roles.

  * ``dnspython`` Python package is no longer required for using the

    roles.

* ``backup_client`` role

  * Previously the backup would run even if pre-backup scripts would

    exit with non-zero exit code in order for backup process to

    kick-in.

  * Old backups are now automatically purged after successful

    backup. This could lead to longer runtimes for entire backup

    process, as well as higher CPU usage.

  * Dropped support for Python 2.7 pip requirements upgrade

    checks. Only Python 3 is supported now.
