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

Browse source 
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.
