b79d15e67f Improve and link Network Proxy docs (#31316)
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs

It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.

Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.

Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.

ba0b91b51b Remove git:// urls from docsite and from packaging (#30459)
It's almost always preferable to clone by way of https:// rather than
using the bare git:// protocol. Not only does https:// provide
stronger guarantees it also plays nicer with corporate proxies, etc.

31e7d735a3 win_environment: Make this the Windows reference module
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.

If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.

This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.

9cc63326b1 Misc docsite fixes (#30290)
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.

It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.

* Add explicit targets for and update refs

Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.

Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)

* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml

Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.

* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples

py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.

530988666a Allow delegate_to if transport is not cli (#29945)
Fixes #29060

Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.

Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.

However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.

  which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.

  Fixes building ansible-config man page.

* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man

  use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
  weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
  first line being indented.

* Add refs to cli command actions

To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:

:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

or:

:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:

:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`

or most of the time:

:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
