Using "~" instead of "+" for concatination (#74364)
Changed FAQ examples to conform with the Jinja documentation:
If both values on either side of a plus/+ are numbers, they will be added whereas using "~" will convert all operands into strings and then concatenate them. Closes #73799.

Add porting guide and documentation for changes to argument spec validation (#74268)
* Add ArgumentSpecValidator to docs
* Improve docs for ArgumentSpecValidator
* Document removal of private methods

* Update module_utils documentation
    - Add docs for argument spec classes as well as validation and parameters files.
    - preserve the order in the source for errors.py
    - document DEFAULT_TYPE_VALIDATORS so it can be referenced elsewhere
    - fix automodule directive for validation.py

* Update docs in arg_spec and paremeters
    - This improves the generated documentation.

* Document breaking changes in porting guide.
* Update formatting in porting guide and add a Deprecated section
* Fine tune module_utils documentation


* Move instance docstring to the __init__ method
  Remove optional description since it fails the sanity test and I am not 100% it is valid anyway.

* Remoe incorrect parameter from docstring
  This was changed a while ago but wasn't removed from the docstring.

* Use attr rather than attribute
  The py:attribute: domain only exists in newer Sphinx >= 3.1.

* Improve documentation on exceptions
* Final pass
    - use args/kwargs instead of param
    - fix formatting errors that didn't display examples correctly
    - format TypeErrors so they are referenced as classes
    - specify complex types

yiskylee 1f0b5b09cd Explanation for "check_mode: no" is confusing (#65777)
When an ansible module, e.g., command, does not support check mode, you can use "check_mode: no" in that task to execute the task in normal mode, even when "--check" flag is used. The current document basically says, use "check_mode: no" to run in check mode, which is confusing and inaccurate.

Python interpreter discovery (#50163)
* Python interpreter discovery

* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)

* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery

(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)

* verify output on some distros, cleanup
