Add module and supporting documentation to bevy_assets (#15056)
# Objective

Bevy's asset system is powerful and generally well-designed but very
opaque.

Beginners struggle to discover how to do simple tasks and grok the
fundamental data models, while more advanced users trip over the
assorted traits and their relation to each other.

Reverts #15054 ;)

## Solution

This PR adds module documentation to `bevy_assets`, tweaking the
associated documentation on the items as needed to provide further
details and bread crumbs.

If you have ideas for other important, hard-to-discover patterns or
functionality in this crate, please let me know.

That said, I've left out a section on asset preprocessing which *should*
eventually go here. That is substantially more uncertain, and requires
both more time to investigate and more expertise to review.
