This step removes community plugins from the Packer binary release. These plugins are being maintained and released independently of Packer and have become out of date. To ensure users are using the latest version of the plugins they are being removed in favor of the external plugin installation processes.
Prior to v1.8.6 a change to the release pipeline was introduced to
automatically set and bump product version information. In that change
the ldflags for striping debug symbols was removed resulting in binaries
with full debug symbols. Thus resulting in larger binary deliverables.
This change adds the missing ldflags back into the build pipeline.

Closes#12392
When tsscr bumped the version of the action to v6, we experienced some
failures in our nightly runs.
To make the action operable again, we pin the action to the former: v3.
This change removes a set of plugins that have not been updated in a while. These
plugins have been archived for some time now. Users wishing to continue using these plugins
should use the `packer plugins install` or `packer init` commands to install the external plugin.
* Remove profitbricks plugin
* Remove oneandone plugin
The following plugins have been unmaintained for some time now, and their
upstream cloud provider has consolidate the services. These plugins
will continue to be available to Packer via direct installation using
packer init or the packer plugins install command. But they will no longer
be bundled with Packer.
The Digital Ocean plugin is now maintained and released by the Digital Ocean team.
To ensure users are downloading the latest available version the plugin will nolonger
be bundled with Packer.
The template type for a builder, provisioner, post-processor or
datasource was not tracked with telemetry data.
This commit adds the infrastructure to track this, bumping the schema
for non-crashes to `beta/packer/6' at the same time.
Packer's telemetry package captures the field names from a configuration
on legacy JSON templates, but did not contain any code for handling HCL2
template configurations.
This commit adds a routine to extract the field names from a HCL2
configuration once flattened, and adds some glue code to propagate the
configurations to the telemetry structures.
It is not clear that the console command runs in legacy JSON mode by
default and that users can specify the -config-type flag to toggle HCL2
mode. This change adds the config-type flag to the command's help text
to alert users of the gotcha.
In the next minor Packer release the console command will be updated to
default to HCL2 mode.

* Packer plugins rely on the Packer SDK for the majority of its HCL
dependency. To prevent issues with the version of go-cty or hcl/v2 pkg
getting out of sync this changes sets the allowed dependency to
packer-plugin-sdk only.
* HashiCorp is standardizing on pinning versions of allowed GitHub actions to prevent
the introduction of potential security issues. This change removes GitHub actions
from dependabot.
* Update external plugin documentation source
The UCloud plugin for Packer is now maintained by the UCloud team, under
their respective GitHub org. This changes updates the source address for
the external plugin that should be used for pulling new plugin
documentation.
* Remove packer-plugin-ucloud from vendored plugins.
* Update external plugin documentation source
The Linode plugin for Packer is now maintained by the Linode team, under
their respective GitHub org. This changes updates the source address for
the external plugin that should be used for pulling new plugin
documentation.
* Removed packer-plugin-linode for list of vendored plugins
The Linode plugin for Packer is now maintained by the Linode team, under
their respective GitHub org. This changes removes Linode from the vendored plugins
lists.
