Docs: Revamp architecture components dia

Jason Plum requested to merge jplum/revamp-arch-component-diagram into master

What does this MR do?

Revamp the architecture / component diagram. I had an itch about this being hard to read (visually) and concerns about conceptual organization. This assuages most of them.

  1. Switch to LR to make it more legible versus TB
  2. Add Groupings
  3. Add some missing interconnects
  4. Add Mailroom
  5. Comment & organize MermaidJS

Author's checklist

To avoid having this MR be added to code verification QA issues, don't add these labels: feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
