This is based on the PR (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3241)
by Tobias Diez (https://github.com/tobiasdiez).
I've refactored some parts, made it more configurable, polished it up,
and it's integrated into the playbook now.
Both the WeChat bridge and WeChat agent appear to be working.
The WeChat bridge joins rooms and responds as expected.
That said, end-to-end testing (actually bridging to a WeChat account) has not been done yet.

Rename WeChat Agent configuration file
This makes it more clear that it belongs to the agent.
Otherwise, `config.yaml` and `configure.yaml` make you wonder.

Make sure matrix-wechat-agent runs as 1000:1000
It needs to write stuff to `/home/user/.vnc`.
`/home/user` is owned by `user:group` (`1000:1000`), so it cannot run
any other way.
Previously, if the `matrix` user was uid=1000 by chance, it would work,
but that's pure luck.

matrix_go_wechat_ -> matrix_wechat_
The bridge is written in Go, but does not include Go anywhere in its
name. As such, it's mostly useless to use `matrix_go_wechat` as the
prefix.

Add wechat bridge
This allows people to try out the new Element X clients, which need to
run against the sliding-sync proxy (https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync).
Supersedes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/2515
The code is based on the existing PR (#2515), but heavily reworked. Major changes:
- lots of internal refactoring and variable renaming
- fixed self-building to support non-amd64 architectures
- changed to talk to the homeserver locally, over the container network (not
publicly)
- no more matrix-nginx-proxy support due to complexity (see below)
- no more `matrix_server_fqn_sliding_sync_proxy` in favor of
`matrix_sliding_sync_hostname` and `matrix_sliding_sync_path_prefix`
- runs on `matrix.DOMAIN/sliding-sync` by default, so it can tried
easily without having to create new DNS records
This container needs a writable $HOME, and will fail at startup if
there isn't one.
Provide one by pointing HOME to a path under the mounted /data
directory.
People often report and ask about these "failures".
More-so previously, when the `docker kill/rm` output was collected,
but it still happens now when people do `systemctl status
matrix-something` and notice that it says "FAILURE".
Suppressing to avoid further time being wasted on saying "this is
expected".

I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.
