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 Mautrix wsproxy for bridging Android SMS or Apple iMessage (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-wsproxy](https://github.com/mautrix/wsproxy) for you.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/mautrix/wsproxy#readme) 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_mautrix_wsproxy_enabled: true
matrix_mautrix_androidsms_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_androidsms_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_imessage_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_imessage_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_shared_secret: 'secret token from bridge'
```
Note that the tokens must match what is compiled into the [mautrix-imessage](https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) bridge running on your Mac or Android device.
### Adjusting the wsproxy URL
By default, this playbook installs wsproxy on the `wsproxy.` subdomain (`wsproxy.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
By tweaking the `matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
Example additional configuration for your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
# Change the default hostname
matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname: ws.example.com
```
## Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the wsproxy domain to the Matrix server.
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `wsproxy`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
## Installing
After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook 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
Follow the [matrix-imessage documenation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/imessage/index.html) for running `android-sms` and/or `matrix-imessage` on your device(s).
