Fix #6816: Prevent ceph-exporter Daemon from Crashing on Startup - v3
=====================================================================

tl;dr: Stop ceph-exporter.service from ending up in a crash loop by
handing it a custom keyring file and setting its group to `www-data`,
similar to what we did for ceph-crash.service [0] before.

v2 contains the entire description; see below for a link.

Changes
-------

The only notable change from v2 is that the race condition @Maximiliano
found [1] (thanks!) is now removed—after a quick discussion with @Stoiko
(thanks!), it was deemed that it's best to let admins restart
`ceph-exporter` themselves instead of automagically resetting its
failure state and restarting it in debian/postinst of pve-manager.

The main reasoning behind this is that unlike the crash daemon, the
exporter isn't a critical part of Ceph, and moreover, *nobody* upstream
(according to https://codesearch.debian.net) is calling `systemctl
reset-failed <UNIT>` in postinst. (Determined by searching for
`reset-failed`, without backticks ofc).

A quick smoke test here would be much appreciated.

NOTE
----

Patch #03 adds a call to a new helper in debian/postinst. The version
check there should be adapted after / while applying the series. Right
now, the version in the check is set to `9.1.5`.
