Some docs for the whole thing.

It heavily relies on linking to the examples for exact details and to avoid rot.

It's probably extremely bad. Help welcome.

Good in general but I think we need to be a bit more explicit about how the binary plugin system works

Introduce a first-class protocol for `DataLoader`s -- whether they are
builtin, custom, or external -- to announce that they don't support
loading a given piece of data.

This fixes one of the oldest issue when loading files in Rerun: loading
unsupported data would always bottom out in either the image or
websocket paths, leading to unrelated errors very confusing to users.

The loading process is now a two-pass process:
1. Dispatch the data to be loaded to all loaders, which will respond
ASAP whether they can do it or not.
1.1. If at least one compatible loader is found, go to 2
1.2. Otherwise, fail early with a nice error message for the end user
2. Dispatch the actual data loading.

This has important/subtle ramifications on the threading model, but
other than that is what you'd expect.
