[TypeInfo] Add more details to TypeInfo documentation

This pull request is to revamp current TypeInfo documentation.
I tried to make the most of the recent changes while answering `@javiereguiluz`'s issue (thanks to "PHPDoc parsing" part).

It should fixes symfony#20389, symfony#20064 and symfony#20014.

-    To support raw string resolving, you need to install ``phpstan/phpdoc-parser`` package.

+    use Symfony\Component\TypeInfo\TypeResolver\TypeResolver;
+
+    class Dummy

+
+There is many methods to manipulate and check types depending on your needs within the TypeInfo components.
+
+If you need a check a simple Type::
+
+    // You need to check if a Type
+    $type = Type::int(); // with a simple int type
+    // You can check if a given type comply with a given identifier
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::INT); // true
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::STRING); // false
+
+    $type = Type::union(Type::string(), Type::int()); // with an union of int and string types
+    // You can now see that the second check will pass to true since we have an union with a string type
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::INT); // true
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::STRING); // true
+
+    class DummyParent {}
+    class Dummy extends DummyParent implements DummyInterface {}
+    $type = Type::object(Dummy::class); // with an object Type
+    // You can check is the Type is an object, or even if it's a given class
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::OBJECT); // true
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(Dummy::class); // true
+    // Or inherits/implements something
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(DummyParent::class); // true
+    $type->isIdentifiedBy(DummyInterface::class); // true
+
+Sometimes you want to check for more than one thing at a time so a callable may be better to check everything::
+
+    class Foo
+    {
+        private int $integer;
+        private string $string;
+        private ?float $float;
+    }
+
+    $reflClass = new \ReflectionClass(Foo::class);
+
+    $resolver = TypeResolver::create();
+    $integerType = $resolver->resolve($reflClass->getProperty('integer'));
+    $stringType = $resolver->resolve($reflClass->getProperty('string'));
+    $floatType = $resolver->resolve($reflClass->getProperty('float'));
+
+    // your callable to check whatever you need
+    // here we want to validate a given type is a non nullable number
+    $isNonNullableNumber = function (Type $type): bool {
+        if ($type->isNullable()) {
+            return false;
+        }
+
+        if ($type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::INT) || $type->isIdentifiedBy(TypeIdentifier::FLOAT)) {
+            return true;
+        }
+
+        return false;
+    };
+
+    $integerType->isSatisfiedBy($isNonNullableNumber); // true
+    $stringType->isSatisfiedBy($isNonNullableNumber); // false
+    $floatType->isSatisfiedBy($isNonNullableNumber); // false
