Update info on python support (#38855)

Browse Source 
* Update the documentation to list Python 3 as official
* Add some reference targets for inventory variables so we can link to docs
* Add a platform FAQ section
  Populate it with

  * virtualenv info (previously on the python3 support page)
  * BSD (Link to the working with BSD page)
  * Solaris (Document how to work around the non-POSIX shell on some
    Solaris hosts)

  Fixes #21594

* Fix some refs in the release_and_maintenance document

* Fix unindent error in module template

Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of
a raw block, leading to errors like:

ERROR: docs/docsite/rst/modules/redshift_facts_module.rst:289:0: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.

Remote host environment parameters:
ansible_shell_type
The shell type of the target system. You should not use this setting unless you have set the ``ansible_shell_executable`` to a non-Bourne (sh) compatible shell.
By default commands are formatted using ``sh``-style syntax.
Setting this to ``csh`` or ``fish`` will cause commands executed on target systems to follow those shell's syntax instead.

.. _ansible_python_interpreter:
ansible_python_interpreter
The target host python path. This is useful for systems with more
than one Python or not located at :command:`/usr/bin/python` such as \*BSD, or where :command:`/usr/bin/python`
is not a 2.X series Python. We do not use the :command:`/usr/bin/env` mechanism as that requires the remote user's
path to be set right and also assumes the :program:`python` executable is named python, where the executable might
be named something like :program:`python2.6`.
ansible_*_interpreter
Works for anything such as ruby or perl and works just like ``ansible_python_interpreter``.

This replaces shebang of modules which will run on that host.

This sets the shell the ansible controller will use on the target machine,
overrides ``executable`` in :file:`ansible.cfg` which defaults to
