Backport #27266 by @merlleu
Hello there,
Cargo Index over HTTP is now prefered over git for package updates: we
should not force users who do not need the GIT repo to have the repo
created/updated on each publish (it can still be created in the packages
settings).
The current behavior when publishing is to check if the repo exist and
create it on the fly if not, then update it's content.
Cargo HTTP Index does not rely on the repo itself so this will be
useless for everyone not using the git protocol for cargo registry.
This PR only disable the creation on the fly of the repo when publishing
a crate.
This is linked to #26844 (error 500 when trying to publish a crate if
user is missing write access to the repo) because it's now optional.

Cargo registry-auth feature requires config.json to have a property
auth-required set to true in order to send token to all registry
requests.
This is ok for git index because you can manually edit the config.json
file to add the auth-required, but when using sparse
(setting index url to
"sparse+https://git.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/cargo/"), the
config.json is dynamically rendered, and does not reflect changes to the
config.json file in the repo.
I see two approaches:
- Serve the real config.json file when fetching the config.json on the
cargo service.
- Automatically detect if the registry requires authorization. (This is
what I implemented in this PR).
What the PR does:
- When a cargo index repository is created, on the config.json, set
auth-required to wether or not the repository is private.
- When the cargo/config.json endpoint is called, set auth-required to
wether or not the request was authorized using an API token.
Fixes #24723
Direct serving of content aka HTTP redirect is not mentioned in any of
the package registry specs but lots of official registries do that so it
should be supported by the usual clients.

This PR adds a Debian package registry. You can follow [this
tutorial](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/create-debian-package) to build
a *.deb package for testing. Source packages are not supported at the
moment and I did not find documentation of the architecture "all" and
how these packages should be treated.
