Improve documentation for custom widgets and widget customization #1082

Describe the feature

I believe that proactively fomenting the users to write or customise their own widgets its a key feature(s) for usability and adoption of the framework, this would provide diversity of components over time and other benefits.

Beautiful work !

Yes, we have strong support for custom widgets and widget customization, and we are planning to write more documentation on that soon. For now, there is documentation on the advanced updating page.

When I do this, I will also clean up the advanced updating page and maybe move some of it to other pages like an advanced plans page.

I will also add documentation for custom core.Value widgets and note that you need to use tree.Add* for adding children to them in their Init functions.
