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 MX Puppet GroupMe bridging (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [mx-puppet-groupme](https://gitlab.com/xangelix-pub/matrix/mx-puppet-groupme) for you.
See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the [GroupMe](https://groupme.com/) bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_mx_puppet_groupme_enabled: true
```
## 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,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
```
**Notes**:
- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
- 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.
## Usage
Once the bot is enabled you need to start a chat with `GroupMe Puppet Bridge` with the handle `@_groupmepuppet_bot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
One authentication method is available.
To link your GroupMe account, go to [dev.groupme.com](https://dev.groupme.com/), sign in, and select "Access Token" from the top menu. Copy the token and message the bridge with:
```
link <access token>
```
Once logged in, send `listrooms` to the bot user to list the available rooms.
Clicking rooms in the list will result in you receiving an invitation to the bridged room.
Also send `help` to the bot to see the commands available.
