Description

These classes are pretty important, but we didn't have any real class
reference documentation for the attributes. This change introduces
documentation for these, fleshes out some of the docs for methods, and
updates one of the attributes to be a documentable @cached_property
(using Djblets's new, smarter version).

Something worth noting is that Sphinx does not provide documentation
inheritance for attribute docs, so the Review Board documentation still
won't have those documented, but at least we have a good reference now
in Djblets.

Testing Done

Built the docs and looked through them. Everything was documented.

"parent package" is funky nomenclature. How about "the extension's python package metadata".
This should probably also explain why you might want to do this, such as having a displayed name with a space in it.
