Update intro_inventory.rst to remove note on list/hash in inventory

[randomthingsandstuff]

Lists and hashes can be used in inventory files, particularly easily in YAML-based inventory files.

Thanks for your Ansible docs contribution! We talk about Ansible documentation on matrix at #docs:ansible.im and on libera IRC at #ansible-docs if you ever want to join us and chat about the docs! We meet there on Tuesdays (see the Ansible calendar) and welcome additions to our weekly agenda items - scroll down to find the upcoming agenda and add a comment to put something new on that agenda.

I believe this was a reference to the ini inventory that was used in most examples in the intro at the time, so I would still keep it but narrow it's scope to such inventory instead of removing it.

I don't mind doing that at all, but I need to word this nicely, I think based on ease-of-use. The INI parser seem to have some support[0] for these structures because of the ast.literal_eval trick. But it appears ugly, because the INI parser does line-by-line, so any interesting/deep structures would be like one long line of ugly.

Not sure about its actual behavior (don't use it), but could you/others confirm that logic? Then, I can wordsmith it properly for followup review.

Hi @randomthingsandstuff We've made some changes to the underlying readthedocs project for this repository. I'm going to close and re-open this issue to kick off a new PR preview build.

You might notice there will be two checks for readthedocs. One for docs/readthedocs.org:stage-ansible-core and another for docs/readthedocs.org:ansible-core.

The stage-ansible-core check is for the old project and will result in a 404. Please ignore that and use the ansible-core check only.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Also thanks for your contribution to the Ansible documentation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do let us know either here, in the docs channel on Matrix, or in the Ansible forum. Cheers.
