Add an example teaching users about custom relationships (#17443)
# Objective

After #17398, Bevy now has relations! We don't teach users how to make /
work with these in the examples yet though, but we definitely should.

## Solution

- Add a simple abstract example that goes over defining, spawning,
traversing and removing a custom relations.
- ~~Add `Relationship` and `RelationshipTarget` to the prelude: the
trait methods are really helpful here.~~
- this causes subtle ambiguities with method names and weird compiler
errors. Not doing it here!
- Clean up related documentation that I referenced when writing this
example.

## Testing

`cargo run --example relationships`

## Notes to reviewers

1. Yes, I know that the cycle detection code could be more efficient. I
decided to reduce the caching to avoid distracting from the broader
point of "here's how you traverse relationships".
2. Instead of using an `App`, I've decide to use
`World::run_system_once` + system functions defined inside of `main` to
do something closer to literate programming.
