Docs - Relay's relationship to Flux

[chrisbolin]

Currently Flux is only mentioned once in the Relay docs (deep in the API reference for Relay.Store). I was initially very confused about the relationship between the Relay and Flux, and I don't think I'm alone.

I would be more than happy to help with the documentation here - I'd just like to hear what you'd like the official word on Flux w/r/t Relay to be.

For example, @josephsavona summed this up succinctly in #168 -

Relay is an implementation of the Flux pattern

There is probably more to say, e.g. on the use of Flux alongside Relay for ephemeral client state (before #114 is closed).
