Toshio Kuratomi 0a7f2093a3 Update info on python support (#38855)
* 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)
  * BSD (Link to the working with BSD page)
  * Solaris (Document how to work around the non-POSIX shell on some
    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:

ERROR: docs/docsite/rst/modules/redshift_facts_module.rst:289:0: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.

(cherry picked from commit a08459a814)

Homepage and documentation source for Ansible

This project hosts the source behind docs.ansible.com

Contributions to the documentation are welcome. To make changes, submit a pull request that changes the reStructuredText files in the rst/ directory only, and the core team can do a docs build and push the static files.

If you wish to verify output from the markup such as link references, you may install sphinx and build the documentation by running make viewdocs from the ansible/docsite directory.

To include module documentation you'll need to run make webdocs at the top level of the repository. The generated html files are in docsite/htmlout/.

To limit module documentation building to a specific module, run MODULES=NAME make webdocs instead. This should make testing module documentation syntax much faster. Instead of a single module, you can also specify a comma-separated list of modules. In order to skip building documentation for all modules, specify non-existing module name, for example MODULES=none make webdocs.

If you do not want to learn the reStructuredText format, you can also file issues about documentation problems on the Ansible GitHub project.

Note that module documentation can actually be generated from a DOCUMENTATION docstring in the modules directory, so corrections to modules written as such need to be made in the module source, rather than in docsite source.

To install sphinx and the required theme, install pip and then "pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme"
