ray.init() will currently start a new Ray instance even if one is already existing, which is very confusing if you are a new user trying to go from local development to a cluster. This PR changes it so that, when no address is specified, we first try to find an existing Ray cluster that was created through `ray start`. If none is found, we will start a new one.
This makes two changes to the ray.init() resolution order:
1. When `ray start` is called, the started cluster address was already written to a file called `/tmp/ray/ray_current_cluster`. For ray.init() and ray.init(address="auto"), we will first check this local file for an existing cluster address. The file is deleted on `ray stop`. If the file is empty, autodetect any running cluster (legacy behavior) if address="auto", or we will start a new local Ray instance if address=None.
2. When ray.init(address="local") is called, we will create a new local Ray instance, even if one is already existing. This behavior seems to be necessary mainly for `ray.client` use cases.
This also surfaces the logs about which Ray instance we are connecting to. Previously these were hidden because we didn't set up the log until after connecting to Ray. So now Ray will log one of the following messages during ray.init:
```
(Connecting to existing Ray cluster at address: <IP>...)
...connection...
(Started a local Ray cluster.| Connected to Ray Cluster.)( View the dashboard at <URL>)
```
Note that this changes the dashboard URL to be printed with `ray.init()` instead of when the dashboard is first started.

Adds notes explaining that Ray's support on Azure, Aliyun, and SLURM is community-maintained.
Rephrases the mention of K8s support in the intro.
This PR replaces https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/25504.
- Adds links to Job Submission from existing library tutorials where `ray submit` is used. When Jobs becomes GA, we should fully replace the uses of `ray submit` with Ray job submission and ensure this is tested.
- Adds docstrings for the Jobs SDK, which automatically show up in the API reference
- Improve the Job Submission main page
- Add a "Deployment Guide" landing page explaining when to use Ray Client vs Ray Jobs

The Staroid node provider has been abandoned and unmaintained for quite some time now. Due to the fact that there are no active maintainers, the original contributors cannot be reached, and there is no clear interest, we are no longer officially endorsing or supporting the node provider.

This PR consolidates both #21667 and #21759 (look there for features), but improves on them in the following way:
- [x] we reverted renaming of existing projects `tune`, `rllib`, `train`, `cluster`, `serve`, `raysgd` and `data` so that links won't break. I think my consolidation efforts with the `ray-` prefix were a little overeager in that regard. It's better like this. Only the creation of `ray-core` was a necessity, and some files moved into the `rllib` folder, so that should be relatively benign.
- [x] Additionally, we added Algolia `docsearch`, screenshot below. This is _much_ better than our current search. Caveat: there's a sphinx dependency that needs to be replaced (`sphinx-tabs`) by another, newer one (`sphinx-panels`), as the former prevents loading of the `algolia.js` library. Will follow-up in the next PR (hoping this one doesn't get re-re-re-re-reverted).
* updating azure autoscaler versions and backwards compatibility, and moving to azure-identity based authentication
