Bug 1568269 - Update console architecture diagram in doc. r=ochameau.

The diagram we had was outdated. We delete
the image, and add 2 ascii diagrams that
reflect the current architecture:
- one for the react part
- one for the non-react part

The style of the page is modified so diagrams can take
the whole horizontal space if needed.

Internal architecture of the Console panel (the client side) is described
on the following diagram.
![Console panel architecture](console-panel-architecture.png)
## Entry points
There are two ways to load the Console panel. It can either run on top
of the Launchpad (inside a browser tab) or within the DevTools Toolbox.
There are different entry points for these scenarios:
* Launchpad - uses `index.js` file as the entry point
* Toolbox - uses `panel.js` file as the entry point

## Components
The Console panel UI is built on top of [React](../frontend/react.md). It defines set of React components in `components` directory
The React architecture is described on the following diagram.

## Actions
The Console panel implements a set of actions divided into several groups.
* **Filters** Actions related to content filtering.
* **Messages** Actions related to list of messages rendered in the panel.
* **UI** Actions related to the UI state.
- **Filters** Actions related to content filtering.
- **Messages** Actions related to list of messages rendered in the panel.
- **UI** Actions related to the UI state.
### State
@ -36,7 +148,7 @@ The Console panel manages the app state via [Redux](../frontend/redux.md).
There are following reducers defining the panel state:
* `reducers/filters.js` state for panel filters. These filters can be set from within the panel's toolbar (e.g. error, info, log, css, etc.)
* `reducers/messages.js` state of all messages rendered within the panel.
* `reducers/prefs.js` Preferences associated with the Console panel (e.g. logLimit)
* `reducers/ui.js` UI related state (sometimes also called a presentation state). This state contains state of the filter bar (visible/hidden), state of the time-stamp (visible/hidden), etc.
