file implementing it is gone so we need to stop referencing it.

* Explain what the Ansible Quickstart video does
Rewrote what video does. The video is really not teaching you how to do the work. It explains why you'd want to use Ansible and shows you what it takes (some sample code) . Video also introduces you to other products in the Ansible ecosystem.

* Change wording of Going Further section
The original wording was confusing with its non-devel branch part.
Made it much clearer for people to understand what to do.
Also removed the git command for creating branches, I believe a
develop should be aware of how basic git commands work.
(cherry picked from commit d5ae63c0ea)
* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording
I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.
I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.
I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.
I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.
I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.
I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.
* Improve wording
* Add three more characters to forbidden first characters
* Update some examples to use proper YAML syntax.
* Make the requested changes so this builds properly.
Also fix emphasis line numbers to match what was being emphasized before
the change.
This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.
The major reasons behind deprecation are -
- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.

If deploying to the first 10 hosts in Boston it should be "-limit boston[0:9]" and the next 10 should be "-limit boston[10:19]". The doc as written would skip the first host (boston[0]) and try to deploy to a host that doesn't exist (boston[20])

* VMware: Add basic vmware module related guide
This fix adds page tries to consolidate various information related
to vmware modules and debugging related information.

Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
The script fails if a Temp directory is not present in the system drive (e.g. C:\Temp).
This can be solved by using the TEMP environment variable instead.
