Fix Ansible 12 double-templating and Jinja2 spacing issues (#14836)

* Fix Ansible 12 double-templating and Jinja2 spacing issues

This PR fixes critical deployment issues and improves code consistency for Ansible 12 compatibility.

## Fixed Issues

### 1. Double-templating bug (Issue #14835)
Fixed 7 instances of invalid double-templating that breaks deployments:
- Changed `{{ lookup('file', '{{ var }}') }}` to `{{ lookup('file', var) }}`
- Affects Azure, DigitalOcean, GCE, Linode, and IPsec configurations
- Added comprehensive test to prevent regression

### 2. Jinja2 spacing inconsistencies
Fixed 33+ spacing issues for better code quality:
- Removed spaces between Jinja2 blocks: `}} {%` → `}}{%`
- Fixed operator spacing: `int -1` → `int - 1`
- Fixed filter spacing: `|b64encode` → `| b64encode`
- Consolidated multiline expressions to single lines

### 3. Test suite improvements
Enhanced boolean type checking test to be more targeted:
- Excludes external dependencies and CloudFormation templates
- Only tests Algo's actual codebase
- Verified with mutation testing
- Added comprehensive documentation

## Testing
- All 87 unit tests pass
- 0 Jinja2 spacing issues remaining (verified by ansible-lint)
- Ansible syntax checks pass for all playbooks
- Mutation testing confirms tests catch real issues

-Comprehensive scan for any remaining string boolean issues in the codebase.
+Test suite to prevent Ansible 12+ boolean type errors in Algo VPN codebase.
-This ensures we haven't missed any other instances that could break Ansible 12.
+
+Background:
+-----------
+Ansible 12.0.0 introduced strict boolean type checking that breaks deployments
+when string values like "true" or "false" are used in conditionals. This causes
+errors like: "Conditional result (True) was derived from value of type 'str'"
+
+What This Test Protects Against:
+---------------------------------
+1. String literals "true"/"false" being used instead of actual booleans
+2. Bare true/false in Jinja2 else clauses (should be {{ true }}/{{ false }})
+3. String comparisons in when: conditions (e.g., var == "true")
+4. Variables being set to string booleans instead of actual booleans
+
+Test Scope:
+-----------
+- Only tests Algo's own code (roles/, playbooks/, etc.)
+- Excludes external dependencies (.env/, ansible_collections/)
+- Excludes CloudFormation templates which require string booleans
+- Excludes test files which may use different patterns
+
+Mutation Testing Verified:
+--------------------------
+All tests have been verified to catch their target issues through mutation testing:
+- Introducing bare 'false' in else clause → caught by test_no_bare_false_in_jinja_else
+- Using string boolean in facts.yml → caught by test_verify_our_fixes_are_correct
+- Adding string boolean assignments → caught by test_no_other_problematic_patterns
+
+Related Issues:
+---------------
+- PR #14834: Fixed initial boolean type issues for Ansible 12
+- Issue #14835: Fixed double-templating issues exposed by Ansible 12
