…e docs (#8334)

This PR augments existing information about how this package uses
context.  Out of band feedback from users related to PR 8275 indicates
more documentation is warranted about the use and retention of
context throughout the package.

# Usage of Contexts
The underlying rpc mechanism used to transmit requests and responses between this client and
the service uses a gRPC bidirectional streaming protocol, and the context provided when invoking
NewClient to instantiate the client is used to maintain those background connections.
This package also exposes context when instantiating a new writer (NewManagedStream), as well as
allowing a per-request context when invoking the AppendRows function to send a set of rows. If the
context becomes invalid on the writer all subsequent AppendRows requests will be blocked.
Finally, there is a per-request context supplied as part of the AppendRows call on the ManagedStream
writer itself, useful for bounding individual requests.
# Connection Sharing (Multiplexing)
Note: This feature is EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change.
