Containers are created with `--rm`, so Docker removes them asynchronously after they stop.
The pre-start `docker rm` returns immediately while that removal is still in progress
(its error is suppressed), and the following `docker create --name` can fail with
"The container name ... is already in use".
This is easy to hit since systemd_service_manager switched its default restart mode to `all-at-once`:
many containers stop and start at the same time and Docker falls behind on removals.
The playbook then fails at "Restart systemd services needing restart at once",
even though the services recover on their own (`Restart=always`) a little later.
The external roles (MASH, devture) were hardened against this in 2026-03
(see mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-valkey@0ba79c0), but the roles in `roles/custom` never were.
This ports the same bounded cleanup loop to them: stop, force-remove,
and wait until Docker releases the name, failing explicitly after a timeout.

Part of adopting a uniform naming policy for bridge variables,
where the variable prefix matches the role directory name.

Replaces `community.docker.docker_image` with the modern
`docker_image_pull` and `docker_image_build` split modules. Drops the
`ansible_version` compatibility ladder and the now-redundant
`_container_image_force_pull` variable (the new pull module handles
registry refresh natively via `pull: always`). Also registers
`_container_image_build_result` so that a self-build rebuild correctly
triggers a service restart.

Reformat `{{ { ... }[engine] }}` dict-in-Jinja-expressions across
bot/bridge role defaults for consistent indentation (tabs -> spaces).
Also: fix a missing space in a Jinja `+` expression in matrix-static-files,
and fix indentation in the caddy2-in-container example.
The original PR also renamed `galaxy/<role>` role references to just
`<role>` in setup.yml and jitsi_jvb.yml; those were dropped here because
Ansible does not recurse into subdirectories of `roles/` by default and
no `roles_path` is configured in ansible.cfg, so the rename would break
role resolution.

For each of the 34 roles (3 clients, 9 bots, 22 bridges), this commit:
- Adds `_restart_necessary: false` default variable
- Adds `register:` directives to config/image/systemd tasks
- Computes `_restart_necessary` via set_fact (OR of all .changed results)
- Wires `(_restart_necessary | bool)` in group_vars/matrix_servers
This allows the systemd service manager to skip unnecessary restarts
when running install-* tags and nothing actually changed.
Service roles and complex multi-service roles will follow separately.

This:
- brings consistency - no more mixing `_name_prefix` and `_registry_prefix`
- adds extensibility - a future patch will allow reconfiguring all registry prefixes for all roles in the playbook
We still have `_docker_` vs `_container_` inconsistencies.
These may be worked on later.
