Description

API Guidance does not explain the term workload. Although, it refers to that term several times - https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fapi-guidelines%20workload&type=code

There is a need to explain the context of this term using backing service, domain, implementation, deployable runtime, etc.
Given the repo is public, I'm assuming the target audience of this literature is anyone on internet.

Identify the guidance page where the term is introduced and add an explanation covering backing service, domain, implementation, and deployable runtime. Done means readers can understand the term in its API guidance context.
