Description
This PR adds a guide as to how the experimental progressive loading works in napari. @kephale added a guide particularly on how to use it and I added sections underneath explaining how it works. The latter is hopefully useful for guiding developers as they go through the code. The intial draft of the doc has now been completed.
Note that the diagrams have been created with AI, but I did go through the code base the best I possibly could to verify the implementation is in accordance with the diagrams. Here, @kephale I would like to ask you to pay close attention that this is indeed the case.
