Add "Custom Tools" section to docs

[NickolausDS]

Gladier explains what Clients and Tools are, but it doesn't show any usable code for people to create brand new ones. I think it would be especially useful to demo a snippet where a custom tool is used. Taking from the Gladier examples repo:

##Funcx defined function
def file_size(**data):
    """Return the size of a file"""
    import os
    return os.path.getsize(data['pathname'])

##Gladier tool abstraction
@generate_flow_definition
class FileSize(GladierBaseTool):
        funcx_functions = [file_size]

@generate_flow_definition
class Example_Client(GladierBaseClient):
    gladier_tools = [
        FileSize,
    ]

This is a nice copy-pastable example new users can use to start their own custom tools.

Yes. I think we are building a good base for things. Just need to figure out all these repo's and what goes where.
