This PR adds a conceptual diagram and associated text to the index page.

Originally we thought to include a mermaid diagram but found a nice-looking alternative with SVG output that was generated from a mermaid -> excalidraw workflow.

The only modification needed to the SVG was to add a target so the links in the diagram can open correctly in new tab.

@jessica-mitchell This looks very nice! In the graphics, I think I'd prefer slightly higher contrast for the "Experimental protocols" and "Data analysis" parts. I will go through the texts in more details shortly.

@jessica-mitchell Great work, Jessica! I agree with HEP to have a bit more contrast for the two panels. Otherwise, the diagram looks very good to me. I also like the text next to the diagram. For the text at the top of the page, I would replace "artificial learning" by "learning", because "artificial" might have connotations to learning mechanisms (such as backprop) in artificial neural networks, while NEST rather provides more biologically plausible learning rules.
