(CAT-2100) Add Debian 12 support

 - Add all Debian 11 and above platforms to have expected privileges.
 - Add ruby package for Debian 12
 - When downloading the mariadb-server package '/var/log/mysql' is automatically created for other platforms, but that is not the case with Debian 12. So, make sure the directory is present.
 - Debian 12 uses utf8mb3 encoding since utf8 is not supported on it.
 - Skip Debian-12-arm platform from tests since the mysql binaries, 'my_print_defaults' and 'mysql_config_editor', are not supported for ARM architecture.

Fix backup/rotation with multiple excluded databases

* When using multiple excluded databases, the list of databases
  is filtered using `grep -v`.
  i.e. `grep -v '^\(information_schema|performance_schema\)$`
* When using Basic vs Extended Regular Expressions, the characters
  `(` and `|` lose their special meaning, the backslashed versions
  have to be used.
  For the group (`()`) the escaping has been done, however the
  alternation is unescaped.

Leading to:

* All the excluded databases will be backed up.
* In case a database is not backuppable (which is why it had been
  excluded), this leads to the cleanup not being run at all, as it
  depends on the backup having been successful.

This MR aims to fix this issue, by revising the regular expression
and specifying that behaviour in the respective class spec.

Fix spec unit for mysql_server_id

Fix spec where mysql_users was failing for SLES

fix mistakes

fix spec for the changed query

Value of the facter :macaddress was nil, causing tests to have two
failures (contexts "igalic's laptop" and "node with lo only").

Update the facter initialization allows to pass the tests
successfully.
