Move sections "Set up Double Puppeting" under "Usage" as subsections for mautrix bridges and appservice kakaotalk
The changes in this commit reflect double puppeting configuration flow. Since the docs claim that double puppeting can be set up after enabling bridges by chatting with the bridge's bot, the explanation about double puppeting may well be placed under "Usage" as subsection.

# Setting up Appservice Kakaotalk bridging (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-kakaotalk](https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk) for you. `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk` is a bridge to [Kakaotalk](https://www.kakaocorp.com/page/service/service/KakaoTalk?lang=ENG) based on [node-kakao](https://github.com/storycraft/node-kakao) (now unmaintained) and some [mautrix-facebook](https://github.com/mautrix/facebook) code.
**Note**: there have been recent reports (~2022-09-16) that **using this bridge may get your account banned**.
See the project's [documentation](https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_enabled: true
```
You may optionally wish to add some [Additional configuration](#additional-configuration), or to [prepare for double-puppeting](#set-up-double-puppeting) before the initial installation.
### Additional configuration
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
Take a look at:
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command:
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
## Usage
Start a chat with `@kakaotalkbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
Send `login --save EMAIL_OR_PHONE_NUMBER` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your Kakaotalk account. The `--save` flag may be omitted, if you'd rather not save your password.
### Set up Double Puppeting
After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do).
To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
#### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).
When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on [how to do that](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
- make sure you don't log out the `Appservice-Kakaotalk` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
