docs: add communication section with forum information (#549)
##### SUMMARY

As a part of the [Consolidating Ansible discussion platforms
initiative](https://forum.ansible.com/t/proposal-consolidating-ansible-discussion-platforms/6812),
this PR adds the communication section template defined by the community
to the README. Similar PRs are being raised across all included
collections under the ansible-collection org for now.

- If you have your forum group and/or tags related to the collection,
please update corresponding lines by suggesting changes to the PR.
- If the collection is not present on the Ansible forum yet, please
check out the existing [tags](https://forum.ansible.com/tags) and
[groups](https://forum.ansible.com/g) - use what suits your collection.
If there is no appropriate tag, please [request
one](https://forum.ansible.com/t/requesting-a-forum-group/503/17). You
can also request a group there as a WG if needed. Then update
corresponding lines by suggesting changes to the PR.
- Presence in the forum will soon likely become a part of the Collection
inclusion requirements.

# Ansible Collection: hetzner.hcloud
Ansible Hetzner Cloud Collection for controlling your Hetzner Cloud Resources.

For more information about communication, see the [Ansible communication guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/communication.html).
## Python version compatibility
This collection depends on the [hcloud](https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-python) library. Due to the [hcloud](https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-python) Python Support Policy this collection requires Python 3.8 or greater.
## Release notes
See [here](https://github.com/ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud/tree/master/CHANGELOG.rst).
### Release policy
The `main` branch is used for the development of the latest versions of the collections, and may contain breaking changes. The `stable-*` branches (e.g. `stable-1` for the `1.x.y` releases) are used to cut additional minor or patch releases if needed, but we do not provide official support for multiple versions of the collection.
## Documentation
The documentation for all modules are available through `ansible-doc`.
Sample: `ansible-doc hetzner.hcloud.server` shows the documentation for the `server` module.
For all modules that were part of Ansible directly (before Ansible 2.11) we also have the documentation published in the
Ansible documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/hcloud/
# Development
## Requirements
You should place the collection (clone the repository) into the Ansible collection path. Normally this
is `~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/<namespace>/<collection`, so for our collection it would
be: `~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud`.
```
git clone git@github.com:ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud.git ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud
```
After this you just need `ansible` installed.
## Testing
Testing is done via `ansible-test`. Make sure to have a `cloud-config-hcloud.ini` file in `tests/integration` which
contains the hcloud API token:
```
[default]
hcloud_api_token=<token>
```
After this you should be able to use `ansible-test integration` to perform the integration tests for a specific module.
Sample:
```
ansible-test integration --color --local -vvv hetzner.hcloud.server // Executed all integration tests for server module
```
## Releasing a new version
If there are releasable changes, `release-please` will open a PR on GitHub with the proposed version. When this PR is merged, `release-please` will tag the release.
