Python interpreter discovery (#50163)

Browse source 
* Python interpreter discovery

* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)

* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery

(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)

* verify output on some distros, cleanup

Using Python 3 on the managed machines with commands and playbooks

* Set the ``ansible_python_interpreter`` configuration option to :command:`/usr/bin/python3`. The
``ansible_python_interpreter`` configuration option is usually set as an inventory
variable associated with a host or group of hosts:
* Ansible will automatically detect and use Python 3 on many platforms that ship with it. To explicitly configure a
Python 3 interpreter, set the ``ansible_python_interpreter`` inventory variable at a group or host level to the
location of a Python 3 interpreter, such as :command:`/usr/bin/python3`. The default interpreter path may also be
set in ``ansible.cfg``.
