Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network. (#74775)
* 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

Using "~" instead of "+" for concatination (#74364)
Changed FAQ examples to conform with the Jinja documentation:
If both values on either side of a plus/+ are numbers, they will be added whereas using "~" will convert all operands into strings and then concatenate them. Closes #73799.

Add porting guide and documentation for changes to argument spec validation (#74268)
* Add ArgumentSpecValidator to docs
* Improve docs for ArgumentSpecValidator
* Document removal of private methods

* Update module_utils documentation
    - Add docs for argument spec classes as well as validation and parameters files.
    - preserve the order in the source for errors.py
    - document DEFAULT_TYPE_VALIDATORS so it can be referenced elsewhere
    - fix automodule directive for validation.py

* Update docs in arg_spec and paremeters
    - This improves the generated documentation.

* Document breaking changes in porting guide.
* Update formatting in porting guide and add a Deprecated section
* Fine tune module_utils documentation


* Move instance docstring to the __init__ method
  Remove optional description since it fails the sanity test and I am not 100% it is valid anyway.

* Remoe incorrect parameter from docstring
  This was changed a while ago but wasn't removed from the docstring.

* Use attr rather than attribute
  The py:attribute: domain only exists in newer Sphinx >= 3.1.

* Improve documentation on exceptions
* Final pass
    - use args/kwargs instead of param
    - fix formatting errors that didn't display examples correctly
    - format TypeErrors so they are referenced as classes
    - specify complex types

1f0b5b09cd Explanation for "check_mode: no" is confusing (#65777)
When an ansible module, e.g., command, does not support check mode, you can use "check_mode: no" in that task to execute the task in normal mode, even when "--check" flag is used. The current document basically says, use "check_mode: no" to run in check mode, which is confusing and inaccurate.
