Changed 'Control Machine' to 'Control Node' (#51696)

Browse source 
* Changed 'Control Machine' to 'Control Node' in the documentation. Changing the term 'Control Machine' to 'Control Node', to be in line with the basic concepts here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/getting_started/basic_concepts.html

Also for both entities; Control/Managed using the same common denominator 'Node' brings consistency.

* Updated reference links to new term.
