Document the Plethora of PauliStrings. #5352

@dabacon

Description

@dabacon

We have PauliString, MutablePauliString, DensePauliString, and MutableDensePauliString, but no discussion of what the difference is between these and when one should use each of these. The dense ones, to my understanding, have no qubits associated with them, while the non-dense ones have gates associated with them (and so is :( an Operation). In #5344 I added some documentation to the gate ones, but the documentation for the sparse ones needs to be updated. Likely they should refer to each other to help clarify.
