Remove mention of MR Diffs file tree worker from the documentation

Thomas Randolph requested to merge tor/docs/diffs-file-tree-metadata into master

What does this MR do and why?

For #393426 (closed).

The MR Diffs Tree Worker was removed in !113026 (merged).
As a result, this documentation needed to be updated to reflect that there's no "special" handler for the metadata.
By removing the mentions of the worker, the Mermaid diagram became mostly redundant: it's just standard JavaScript flow, so there's no out-of-thread flow to follow, and documenting it with a diagram seems silly.

Note: this also updates the processed MR diff metadata file structure to include the changes introduced in !113941 (merged).
