* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.

This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.

Fix IOS TypeError
* if flags are None, then ' '.join(flags) fails

* On python3, stdin goes through a buffer that translates from raw bytes
to text. this interferes with pause as it (1) performs universal
newline conversion and therefore '\r' is turned into '\n' and (2) the
buffering prevents us from getting the typed characters immediately
(possibly a python3 bug?) Using the raw byte stream that's behind the
text decoder fixes these problems.
Unrelated cleanups:
* Use to_text instead of str for conversion into strings to avoid possible tracebacks
* Use either \r or \n as the end of a line.

When using Python3, the exec_module function errors out with a
unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict_keys' and 'list'
error when adding the .keys() to a static list. Use the explicit
list function to make a list of keys and then add to the ['tags'] list.

The user variable stores whether we need to set user@ in our connection
string. It's now being used at the toplevel of the run() method so the
default needs to be calculated further up the stack
Fixes#24910
(cherry picked from commit 6908038036)
The AnsiBallZ wrapper is transferred to the remote machine with
a filename similar to the Ansible-module it runs. For modules like copy
and tempfile, this can end up conflicting with stdlib modules on the
remote machine depending on how python is setup there. We have a little
bit of code in the wrapper to deal with this by removing the path that
the ansible module resides in from sys.path.
On MacOSX, that code was having a problem. The path the module ends up
in included a symlinked directory so we were looking for a path in
sys.path but we had to look for the unsymlinked path instead.
Fix that by using os.path.realpath() instead of os.path.abspath()
