Description

What

Add documentation on how to use BAL for testing a host integration.

Why

As more hosts adopt OpenAssetIO, BAL will become ever more crucial. Yet there is no formal documentation on its usage (test cases and example usage elsewhere in the ecosystem provide the only clues).

Notes

It's perhaps not worth being overly thorough before #88 is done.

Research direction

Start by reading the BAL test cases and example usage elsewhere in the OpenAssetIO ecosystem to understand the host-integration workflow. Document how BAL is used for testing a host integration, keeping the scope compatible with the work planned in #88. Done means contributors have formal usage guidance instead of needing to infer it from examples.
