Document using the raw module to install a py2.X and simplejson

In the installation guide, the raw module is mentioned as an option for
installing Python or simplejson on managed nodes that don't have them.
This change adds an example for users that may already be familiar with
using ansible but are checking install docs because they don't know the
requirements for managed nodes, or are using a distribution that doesn't
include Python 2 by default.

If you need to bootstrap these remote systems by installing Python 2.X,
using the 'raw' module will be able to do it remotely. For example,
``ansible myhost --sudo -m raw -a "yum install python2 python-simplejson"``
would install Python 2.X and the simplejson module needed to run ansible and its modules.
