* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

For instance, you should use `community.vmware.vmware_guest` instead of just
`vmware_guest`.
This way, the examples don't depend on the `collections` directive of the
playbook.

Use the --venv option instead.
This option was only available when running from source to test the ansible/ansible repository.
This will have no effect on testing collections or running from an installed version of Ansible.
Also update docs to reference the --venv option instead of the --tox option.
* Add writing new tests subsection to vmware_guidelines
Specifically address use of the prepare_vmware_tests role
Point to common vars for use by test writers

- Use predictable VM name during the tests (test_vm1, test_vm2 and
test_vm2). This to simplify the teardown of the newly created resource
before the next test.
- Update the documentation to explain the new requirement
- Avoid VM creation with `with_items` when it's not mandatory. This to:
- speed up the test execution, our hypervisors have limited resources
- simplify the teardown
- Remove `create_d1_c1_f0_env.yml`, the test was just testing how Ansible
pass environment variables.
- Correct the name for the `f0` variable (`f1`)
- Fix the DVS tests, the hosts can now reach the dvswitch1 vswitch
- Provision the VM with a poweroff status, this to improve the
idempotency and sleep up the tests
- Avoid the use of `prepare_vmware_tests` to prepare virtual machines
when we just need one machine
VMware specific documentation that explains:
- how to run the functional tests
- and the conventions.
- clarify the difference between govcsim and vcsim

* Moves developer docs for AWS, ovirt, and openstack modules out of lib/ansible/, integrates them with dev_guide, with abadger's fix to make python snippets pass rstcheck
