Part of https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/7014

If we want to have DataFusion used as the core of many new systems, we need it to be as easy as possible for someone to get their idea working on top of DataFusion.

Thanks to @tshauck we now have a basic Library Users Guide ❤️ and this ticket describes expanding it out
