Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used (#20649)

* Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used

Sometimes the block of text does not easily fit into a playbook, so this acts as a reminder (or a prompt for anyone who hasn't used this before) that the content could be stored in an separate file.

I've also included `backup: yes` as I think this is a good example of where a backup might be needed.

* Correct the not so "smart quotes"

* Update blockinfile.py
