[PR #11922/cdd0d252 backport][stable-12] jenkins_credential: improve example and description in documentation (#12016)

jenkins_credential: improve example and description in documentation (#11922)

* Fixes and improvements for better undestanding of the module

- Fixed token generation syntax to use `name` instead of `id`.
- Changed `token: {{ token }}` to `token: {{ token_result.token }}` to show accessing token from the registered variable, essentially making the entire Example section a playbook capable of full execution.
- Added notes in the Example section about the intended approach for storing and accessing tokens.
- Mentioned about not using `id` for token generation in the parameter's description.

* Applying FQCN for the `ansible.builtin.copy` module



* Shortened the notes about storing and accessing Jenkins token.

* Added line breaks to reduce width of the shortened notes

- Added line breaks to reduce the width of the shortened note from commit #5bc225b.
- Numbered and indented the notes for clear distinction.

* Changed token storage example to use INI instead of CSV format
