Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network. (#74775)
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.

* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net.  At this time, libera.chat
  doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
  https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
  could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
  https://libera.chat for link targets.  This is because the irc service
  is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
  libera.chat.  (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
  using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work.  Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
  linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
  been http://frenode.net instead).

* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat

* Link to where contributors should get help

Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.

* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

Update playbooks_variables.rst. To say you can define variables within a playbook is somewhat misleading. Variables are defined within plays and are only visible within the play they are defined in *not* the entire playbook. There is no way to define vars to have strictly playbook scope. (#73986)

introduce fact "ansible_processor_nproc": number of usable vcpus (#66569)
This fact reflects the number of usable vcpus (which might be different
from ansible_processor_vcpus, e.g., in containers with limits). See
also #51504.

James Polley 7988266bb7 Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used. (#39059)
* Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used.

* Add command-line values into the precedence list.
* Several sample config snippets were included without any explanation
  of how those snippets would be processed. Added descriptions so that
  the reader can understand what each snippet will (or won't) accomplish.

* Don't focus on inventory as much

Expand on the fact that it's the fact that a variable is set that
matters, not the source of the variable.
