Move AppTypeRegistry to bevy_ecs (#8901)
# Objective

- Use `AppTypeRegistry` on API defined in `bevy_ecs`
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8895#discussion_r1234748418)

A lot of the API on `Reflect` depends on a registry. When it comes to
the ECS. We should use `AppTypeRegistry` in the general case.

This is however impossible in `bevy_ecs`, since `AppTypeRegistry` is
defined in `bevy_app`.

## Solution

- Move `AppTypeRegistry` resource definition from `bevy_app` to
`bevy_ecs`
- Still add the resource in the `App` plugin, since bevy_ecs itself
doesn't know of plugins

Note that `bevy_ecs` is a dependency of `bevy_app`, so nothing
revolutionary happens.

## Alternative

- Define the API as a trait in `bevy_app` over `bevy_ecs`. (though this
prevents us from using bevy_ecs internals)
- Do not rely on `AppTypeRegistry` for the API in question, requring
users to extract themselves the resource and pass it to the API methods.

---

## Changelog

- Moved `AppTypeRegistry` resource definition from `bevy_app` to
`bevy_ecs`

## Migration Guide

- If you were **not** using a `prelude::*` to import `AppTypeRegistry`,
you should update your imports:

```diff
- use bevy::app::AppTypeRegistry;
+ use bevy::ecs::reflect::AppTypeRegistry
```

Split the bevy_ecs reflect.rs module (#8834)
# Objective

- Cleanup the `reflect.rs` file in `bevy_ecs`, it's very large and can
get difficult to navigate

## Solution

- Split the file into 3 modules, re-export the types in the
`reflect/mod.rs` to keep a perfectly identical API.
- Add **internal** architecture doc explaining how `ReflectComponent`
works. Note that this doc is internal only, since `component.rs` is not
exposed publicly.

### Tips to reviewers

To review this change properly, you need to compare it to the previous
version of `reflect.rs`. The diff from this PR does not help at all!
What you will need to do is compare `reflect.rs` individually with each
newly created file.

Here is how I did it:

- Adding my fork as remote `git remote add nicopap
https://github.com/nicopap/bevy.git`
- Checkout out the branch `git checkout nicopap/split_ecs_reflect`
- Checkout the old `reflect.rs` by running `git checkout HEAD~1 --
crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect.rs`
- Compare the old with the new with `git diff --no-index
crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect.rs crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect/component.rs`

You could also concatenate everything into a single file and compare
against it:

- `cat
crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect/{component,resource,map_entities,mod}.rs >
new_reflect.rs`
- `git diff --no-index  crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect.rs new_reflect.rs`
