Add quickstart page on mid-circuit measurements (#5870)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
**Context:**
The PennyLane documentation has a quickstart page on measurements, which
includes a large section about mid-circuit measurements.
With the focus on dynamic circuits and mid-circuit measurements more
generally, we would like to make the content on MCMs more visible.

**Description of the Change:**
Extracts the MCM part of the measurements quickstart and adds it as its
own quickstart page.
Adds some details on simulation techniques and polishes the content.

**Benefits:**
Visibility, documentation extent for MCMs

**Possible Drawbacks:**

**Related GitHub Issues:**
