Break down the Widgets user guide #1641

@maximlt

Description

@maximlt
  • A how-to for groupby (something like how to explore a multidimensional dataset with widgets)
  • Copy/paste (and adapt a bit) the part of the Widgets user guide that reference Panel widgets explicitly to the Reference section. This is API that we would like to revisit and I don't want to expose it too much in a Tutorial, but also don't want to lose that content.
  • Nice to have: People are confused between groupby (HoloMap/DynamicMap containers), by (NdOverlays or NdLayouts if subplots=True), and color/c for vectorized. These options have two main outputs. First the HoloViews object returned is different and can be re-used (e.g. indexed) differently, e.g. by='sex' will return an NdOverlay that can be indexed by sex (plot['female']) while color='sex' returns a single Scatter element that can't be indexed the same way. Second, the visual output can differ or not. And a last one, there can be some performance benefits to use color over by. All of this would be nice to document in an Explanation page.
