Research direction

Start by tracing maddy's use of libdns/hetzner and the dependency update chain required to use github.com/libdns/hetzner/v2. Review the new Hetzner DNS Cloud API support and the failure described in discussion #806. Done means maddy builds successfully with the updated dependency and ACME DNS challenges work against the current Hetzner API.

Description

bug

Describe the bug

Hetzner DNS Console API is deprecated and it appears AMCE challenges are failing (at least I suspect that might be the cause for https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy/discussions/806)

libdns/hetzner has implemented support for the new Hetzner DNS Cloud API: https://github.com/libdns/hetzner/commit/43c0630a7ad716f9ebcccf7fc159749232254ef0

maddy needs to use "github.com/libdns/hetzner/v2" now instead. But it appears that causes a terrible dependency update chain. I have not had success building maddy after such an update.
