Set `Application.allow_spread_yaml` to false
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed without a recorded code change; disabling spread.yaml compatibility remained tracked only by internal ticket DEBCRAFT-79.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: No resolving PR, commit, or maintainer closing comment was recorded. The only follow-up was an automated internal-ticket link, so the requested configuration change appears to have stalled.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Set `Application.allow_spread_yaml` to false, upon updating to craft-application 7.3 or higher.
### The problem it solves
https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/pull/1168 migrated test config files from `spread.yaml` to `debcraft-test.yaml`.
It allows for parsing `spread.yaml` for backward compatibility, but we [don't need backward compatibility](https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/pull/1168#discussion_r3871528200) for debcraft.

needs triage | Debcraft should set Application.allow_spread_yaml to false after updating to craft-application 7.3+, since spread.yaml backward compatibility is unnecessary. Fresh maintainer-filed task, no labels or comments yet. |
