elaborate on TaskPool and bevy tasks (#8750)
# Objective

I found it very difficult to understand how bevy tasks work, and I
concluded that the documentation should be improved for beginners like
me.

## Solution

These changes to the documentation were written from my beginner's
perspective after
some extremely helpful explanations by nil on Discord.

I am not familiar enough with rustdoc yet; when looking at the source, I
found the documentation at the very top of `usages.rs` helpful, but I
don't know where they are rendered. They should probably be linked to
from the main `bevy_tasks` README.
