docs(contribution-guidelines): add database design diagrams

[HasithDeAlwis]

What feature should we improve? Please describe.
We need to make sure that all database design documents are visible to all contributors so they can see exactly how our database works on a higher level.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Provide images and a verbal description of the database design.
2. Give an overview of the tools used (pros and cons)
3. Explain how any contributor could edit and collaborate with the main team on database design

Additional Context
See Figjam for Infrastructure Design for an idea on how our initial ideas were made.

Here is what I think we had so far (this is done using mermaid):

I'll be looking more into more tools (that feature collaboration) and into the database design.

[MFarabi619]

@JeremyFriesenGitHub Can you a draft PR with this db design on the docs site and ask @sourcery-ai to review it?

didn't see this lol, either way sourcery wouldn't have reviewed drafts
