Pull Request Overview
This PR refactors the getting-started documentation to demonstrate comprehensive collection testing patterns rather than simple role-only testing. It introduces a new approach that emphasizes testing multiple collection components with shared state management and resource orchestration.
- Adds integration test infrastructure with ansible-creator collection scaffolding
- Transforms documentation to focus on collection-level testing with multiple components and scenarios
- Introduces shared state testing patterns for efficient resource management
