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

Add direct link to using multiple inventory sources (#73680)
This helps users to find the right ressources more easily and prevents them from clicking the first matching link only to be redirected to a subsection on the samepage from there

kysamson 60d134aeaf Clarify priority setting in Inventory doc (#51343)
* priority setting note in inventory doc

The `ansible_group_priority` variable is also described in *Using Variables* and was given a clarification in issue #41512. The variable is also documented in *Working with Inventory* without the caveat that it needs to be declared on the inventory and not a group_vars file. This change adds that as a note

Lars Kellogg-Stedman 220d224433 add note regarding {host,group}_vars directory lookup semantics (#48066)
* add note regarding {host,group}_vars directory lookup semantics

While the 'ansible-playbook' command will look for {host,group}_vars in
both the playbook and inventory directories, the 'ansible' command
will only look in the inventory directory. This follows from a close
reading of the documentation but isn't explicit and leads to the
perhaps unexpected result that you can run both commands with the same
configuration in the same directory and get different results.

This commit adds a note to the documentation making the difference in
behavior explicit.

* Update the documentation to list Python 3 as official
* Add some reference targets for inventory variables so we can link to docs
* Add a platform FAQ section
  Populate it with

  * virtualenv info (previously on the python3 support page)

    Solaris hosts)

  Fixes #21594

* Fix some refs in the release_and_maintenance document

* Fix unindent error in module template

Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of
a raw block, leading to errors like:

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.
