Finish dev-desktop rollout

[jdno]

Context

The dev desktops provide maintainers and contributors to the Rust Project with free access to high-powered cloud compute. They are part of the Cloud Compute Program of the Rust Foundation.

A development instance for the dev desktops was deployed in early 2022, and used to develop scripts and tools for the users of the machines. In October, two production instances were deployed to AWS (see rust-lang/simpleinfra#125).

Tasks

The following tasks still need to be done to finish the rollout of the current generation of dev desktops. Future work such as scaling the project will be tracked in separate issues.

• Merge PR to set git username and email in init script (init.sh: set username and email for git simpleinfra#110)
• Merge PR to refactor scripts that set up Rust (Refactor scripts to set up Rust on dev desktops simpleinfra#132)
• Merge PR to install Node.js on dev desktops (dev-desktop: add nodejs package for running rustdoc-gui tests simpleinfra#140)
• Deploy x86 instance(s) to Azure
• Decommission the old x86 instance(s) on AWS
• Document the worktree scripts

The documentation of the worktree scripts has not been done yet, but they will probably be refactored slightly anyways based on feature requests on Zulip (e.g. more customization options). The rest of the work has been done, and we have four instances running in production now. 🎉
