bevy_reflect: Update Reflection documentation (bevyengine#5841)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
# Objective

The documentation on `Reflect` doesn't account for the recently added reflection traits: [`Array`](bevyengine#4701) and [`Enum`](bevyengine#4761).

## Solution

Updated the documentation for `Reflect` to account for the `Array` and `Enum`.
