Fixes 23145

What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR adds comprehensive architecture diagrams to improve documentation and developer onboarding. The diagrams provide visual representations of the ARO-RP architecture at multiple levels:

  1. High-Level Architecture - Shows main services, external dependencies, and data flow
  2. Detailed Component Architecture - Illustrates internal components and their interactions within the RP
  3. Cluster Lifecycle & Data Flow - Documents the journey of a cluster from creation to running state

Benefits:

  • Faster onboarding - New team members can quickly understand the system architecture without diving into code
  • Easier code navigation - Developers can identify the right components for modifications by understanding component relationships and responsibilities
  • Better design discussions - Visual diagrams facilitate architectural discussions and design decisions
  • Reduced knowledge silos - Documentation helps preserve architectural knowledge across team changes

Test plan for issue:

  • ✅ Diagrams render correctly in GitHub markdown
  • ✅ All components and connections are accurately represented
  • ✅ Documentation links are valid and accessible

Is there any documentation that needs to be updated for this PR?

  • ✅ Architecture diagrams added to the repository
  • Links to relevant documentation included in the diagrams
