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

************************************
Collection Galaxy metadata structure
************************************
A key component of an Ansible collection is the ``galaxy.yml`` file placed in the root directory of a collection. This
file contains the metadata of the collection that is used to generate a collection artifact.
Structure
=========
The ``galaxy.yml`` file must contain the following keys in valid YAML:
.. rst-class:: documentation-table
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: auto
* - Key
- Comment
{%- for entry in options %}
* - .. rst-class:: value-name
@{ entry.key }@ |br|
.. rst-class:: value-type
@{ entry.type | documented_type }@ |_|
{% if entry.get('required', False) -%}
.. rst-class:: value-separator
/ |_|
.. rst-class:: value-required
required
{%- endif %}
{% if 'version_added' in entry -%}
.. rst-class:: value-added-in
|br| version_added: @{ entry.version_added }@
|_|
{%- endif %}
- {% for desc in entry.description -%}
@{ desc | trim | rst_ify }@
{% endfor -%}
{%- endfor %}
