Cameron Steel e3c996de10 dns-cloudflare: Implement limited-scope API Tokens (#7583)
A while ago Cloudflare added support for limited-scope API Tokens in place of using a global API key, but support for them in cloudflare/python-cloudflare took a while to get through.

In summary, this PR:
- Implements token functionality through the INI file parameter `dns_cloudflare_api_token` (in addition to the traditional `dns_cloudflare_email` and `dns_cloudflare_api_key`). This needed a more advanced parameter validator than the built in `required_variables` mechanism.
- Updates the docs to reflect the new option, needed token permissions, and version details of the `cloudflare` module

* Update python-cloudflare version

* Add Cloudflare API Token support to certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Add token-specific errors to certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Tidy up certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Implement Cloudflare API Tokens in testing for certbot-dns-cloudflare(needs work)

* Further tidying of certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Update CHANGELOG with Cloudflare API Tokens implementation

* Improve testing of certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Improve certbot-dns-cloudflare test formatting

* Further improve testing for certbot-dns-cloudflare

* Change needed permissions for token

* Add documentation regarding python-cloudflare version

* Fix changelog, references to python-cloudflare and docs

* Fix behaviour when domain does not match cloudflare root domain. Improve error handling.

* Improve testing

* Improve hints and error handling

The `~certbot_dns_cloudflare.dns_cloudflare` plugin automates the process of
completing a ``dns-01`` challenge (`~acme.challenges.DNS01`) by creating, and
subsequently removing, TXT records using the Cloudflare API.
Named Arguments
---------------
======================================== =====================================
``--dns-cloudflare-credentials`` Cloudflare credentials_ INI file.
(Required)
``--dns-cloudflare-propagation-seconds`` The number of seconds to wait for DNS
to propagate before asking the ACME
server to verify the DNS record.
(Default: 10)
======================================== =====================================
Credentials
-----------
Use of this plugin requires a configuration file containing Cloudflare API
credentials, obtained from your Cloudflare
`account page <https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens>`_.
Previously, Cloudflare's "Global API Key" was used for authentication, however
this key can access the entire Cloudflare API for all domains in your account,
meaning it could cause a lot of damage if leaked.
Cloudflare's newer API Tokens can be restricted to specific domains and
operations, and are therefore now the recommended authentication option.
However, due to some shortcomings in Cloudflare's implementation of Tokens,
Tokens created for Certbot currently require ``Zone:Zone:Read`` and ``Zone:DNS:Edit``
permissions for **all** zones in your account. While this is not ideal, your Token
will still have fewer permission than the Global key, so it's still worth doing.
Hopefully Cloudflare will improve this in the future.
Using Cloudflare Tokens also requires at least version 2.3.1 of the ``cloudflare``
python module. If the version that automatically installed with this plugin is
older than that, and you can't upgrade it on your system, you'll have to stick to
the Global key.
.. code-block:: ini
:name: certbot_cloudflare_token.ini
:caption: Example credentials file using restricted API Token (recommended):
# Cloudflare API token used by Certbot
dns_cloudflare_api_token = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
.. code-block:: ini
:name: certbot_cloudflare_key.ini
:caption: Example credentials file using Global API Key (not recommended):
# Cloudflare API credentials used by Certbot
dns_cloudflare_email = cloudflare@example.com
dns_cloudflare_api_key = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234
The path to this file can be provided interactively or using the
``--dns-cloudflare-credentials`` command-line argument. Certbot records the path
to this file for use during renewal, but does not store the file's contents.
.. caution::
You should protect these API credentials as you would the password to your
Cloudflare account. Users who can read this file can use these credentials
to issue arbitrary API calls on your behalf. Users who can cause Certbot to
run using these credentials can complete a ``dns-01`` challenge to acquire
new certificates or revoke existing certificates for associated domains,
even if those domains aren't being managed by this server.
Certbot will emit a warning if it detects that the credentials file can be
accessed by other users on your system. The warning reads "Unsafe permissions
on credentials configuration file", followed by the path to the credentials
file. This warning will be emitted each time Certbot uses the credentials file,
including for renewal, and cannot be silenced except by addressing the issue
(e.g., by using a command like ``chmod 600`` to restrict access to the file).
