docs: update architecture discussion

Sam Darwin requested to merge sdarwin/mailman-suite-doc:arch3 into master

When importing mailing lists, it's especially interesting to think about what you might call "the link between Mailman Web and Mailman Core".

How do Hyperkitty and Postorius know about membership in the actual lists? Adding this text:

The link between Mailman Web and Mailman Core is based on the email address.
If the emails match, list membership information from core will automatically
be shown in Postorius and Hyperkitty. The web communicates with the core over
the rest api MAILMAN_REST_API_URL rather than directly querying the
mailman3-core database.

Could anything else be added that is both simply understandable but also technical accurate to explain this particular topic? Should Django classes or templates be mentioned?
