Code Issues Proposed changes

Rework the Quickstart Guide to make it easier for Newcomers

Browse Source 
There are too many ways in one guide for the deployment. This
makes it hard for newcomers to stay at one track and get a working
installation. I reworked this from many possible ways to two.
Only virtual enviroment and non virtual enviroment. For the
developer guide I will make a new patchset.

Beware system package upgrades might interfere with that so it
is recommended to uninstall the system package first. One might be better
off with the virtual environment method to avoid this pitfall.

For example, add the following options to the Ansible configuration file

.. path /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

[defaults]
host_key_checking=False
pipelining=True

.. note::
Distributions might not come with Python pre-installed. That will cause
errors in the ``ping`` module. To quickly install Python with Ansible you
can run: for Debian or Ubuntu:
``ansible -i multinode all -m raw -a "apt -y install python3"``,
and for CentOS, Rocky or openEuler:
``ansible -i multinode all -m raw -a "dnf -y install python3"``.
