…e.App) The backend Architecture page was empty. Document how an OpenEMS Edge connects to the Backend via the Backend.Edge.App: the Edge-facing endpoint was split out of the central Backend into its own scalable application, so the Edge Controller.Api.Backend connects to a Backend.Edge.App (deployed on separate servers, or on the central server via localhost) which relays to the central Edge.Manager. Follows up on the discussion in OpenEMS#3795. Signed-off-by: arindahills <293051436+arindahills@users.noreply.github.com>

The backend Architecture page was empty. This documents how an OpenEMS Edge connects to the Backend:
Backend.Edge.App;Controller.Api.Backend) to aBackend.Edge.App, which relays to the centralEdge.Manager;Backend.Edge.Appon separate servers, or a single one on the central server vialocalhost.This follows up on the discussion in #3795, where this setup was noted as not yet documented. Happy to adjust the wording or add a diagram image if preferred.
