Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"

Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions

- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation

- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: remove the note about ensure-matrix-users-created

# Setting up the REST authentication password provider module (optional, advanced)
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-synapse-rest-auth](https://github.com/ma1uta/matrix-synapse-rest-password-provider) for you.
See that project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
```yaml
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_enabled: true
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_endpoint: "http://matrix-ma1sd:8090"
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_registration_enforce_lowercase: false
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_registration_profile_name_autofill: true
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_login_profile_name_autofill: false
```
## Authenticating only using a password provider
If you wish for users to **authenticate only against configured password providers** (like this one), **without consulting Synapse's local database**, feel free to disable it:
```yaml
matrix_synapse_password_config_localdb_enabled: false
```
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
