PR Summary

This change adds empty documents to suggest the structure and content of a resource authoring guide.

It is intended to convey high-level design guidance and implementation-agnostic guidance for authoring resource manifests and instance schemas.

It doesn't cover any specifics for defining commands or the resource in a particular language. Those concerns are better covered in the resource development kits or the sample resource tutorials, not the conceptual guide.

I recall seeing it mentioned in the documentation you wrote earlier, Mikey, but after our discussion yesterday, would it be worth pointing out a naming convention for a new DSC resource?
