Enhanced par_for_each and par_for_each_mut docs (#4039)

# Objective
Continuation of  #2663 due to git problems - better documentation for Query::par_for_each and par_for_each_mut

## Solution
Going into more detail about the function parameters

/// # Tasks and batch size
///
/// The items in the query get sorted into batches.
/// Internally, this function spawns a group of futures that each take on a `batch_size` sized section of the items (or less if the division is not perfect).
/// Then, the tasks in the [`TaskPool`] work through these futures.
///
/// You can use this value to tune between maximum multithreading ability (many small batches) and minimum parallelization overhead (few big batches).
/// Rule of thumb: If the function body is (mostly) computationally expensive but there are not many items, a small batch size (=more batches) may help to even out the load.
/// If the body is computationally cheap and you have many items, a large batch size (=fewer batches) avoids spawning additional futures that don't help to even out the load.
///
/// # Arguments
///
///* `task_pool` - The [`TaskPool`] to use
///* `batch_size` - The number of batches to spawn
///* `f` - The function to run on each item in the query
