Write documentation for property reactivity behavior details #6091

Open tkobayas opened 2 months ago

Probably it's good to have one section to focus on property reactivity behavior with some more details.

Existing basic explanation
Class reactive (= react to all properties) when properties in constraint cannot be analyzed
A method call reacts to properties which are method arguments https://docs.drools.org/7.73.0.Final/drools-docs/html_single/#better-property-reactivity

Note: DROOLS-3849 (no mask -> allSetBitMask when properties in constraint cannot be analyzed) -> since 7.21.0.Final

DROOLS-5677 (if firstProp is not a property nor a method call, allSetBitMask : e.g. Object1( !Objects.isNull(field1) )) -> since 7.45.0.Final -> check if this should be removed : https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-drools/issues/6092

BAPL-1773 (reactive to method call arguments) -> since 7.46.0.Final
