Often when I am helping others learn Ansible, they are using nodes spun up on Amazon/Google/etc. where private key files (pem) are needed. Mentioning just a bit more on how to handle those private key files on the intro_getting_started page will help more folks get started faster.
I even reviewed the changes with my learning team and they all agreed this helped clarify immediately for them how to really get started with Ansible from a practical perspective.

`192.168.128.0/20` does not contain `192.168.144.5`, the correct subnet is `192.168.144.0/20` (which is what is rendered on my test template).

* 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
* Fix and update vault docs, add and clarify examples and options, introduce the concept of labeling a vault for clarity even if only a single password is in use for a given run, rework multi-password section to align to these concepts.
* Document -client scripts for ansible vault.
