To connection-less environment, we need to add node_exporter binary
to scylla-server package, not downloading it from internet.

Up until now, Scylla's debian packages dependencies versions were
unspecified. This was due to a technical difficulty to determine
the version of the dependent upon packages (such as scylla-python3
or scylla-jmx). Now, when those packages are also built as part of
this repo and are built with a version identical to the server package
itself we can depend all of our packages with explicit versions.
The motivation for this change is that if a user tries to install
a specific Scylla version by installing a specific meta package,
it will silently drag in the latest components instead of the ones
of the requested versions.
The expected change in behavior is that after this change an attempt
to install a metapackage with version which is not the latest will fail
with an explicit error hinting the user what other packages of the same
version should be explicitly included in the command line.

Debian package builds provide a root environment for the installation
scripts, since that's what typical installation scripts expect. To
avoid providing actual root, a "fakeroot" system is used where syscalls
are intercepted and any effect that requires root (like chown) is emulated.
However, fakeroot sporadically fails for us, aborting the package build.
Since our install scripts don't really require root (when operating in
the --packaging mode), we can just tell dpkg-buildpackage that we don't
need fakeroot. This ought to fix the sporadic failures.
As a side effect, package builds are faster.
Fixes#6655.
Same as 9d91ac345a, drop dependency on pystache
since it nolonger present in Fedora 32.
To implement it, simplified debian package build process.
It will be generate debian/ directory when building relocatable package,
we just need to run debuild using the package.
To generate debian/ directory this commit added debian_files_gen.py,
it construct whole directory including control and changelog files
from template files.
Since we need to stop pystache, these template files swiched to
string.Template class which is included python3 standard library.
