docs: document live Component preview workflow

Explain the wasmeld dev watch-build-package-deploy loop, isolated development service IDs, hash revisions, failure retention, cleanup behavior, and command options.

Document the inactive-revision DELETE endpoint and the switch-before-unregister safety rule.

+Console 启动后，使用开发模式监听组件源码和本地 WIT `replace`：
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p wasmeld-package --bin wasmeld -- \
+  dev components/echo/Cargo.toml --locked
+```
+
+首次构建和每次源码变化都会自动完成 WIT 同步、Debug 编译、打包、注册和 Deployment
+切换。默认使用 `echo-dev` 这类独立服务 ID，并根据 Component 内容生成
+`0.1.0-dev.h<hash>` Revision，不会覆盖正式服务。新版本构建、校验或启动失败时，上一
+版本继续运行；切换成功后旧开发 Revision 会被注销并释放。
+
+管理面每 5 秒刷新一次，可以直接在调用面板预览新版本。只构建并部署一次可使用
+`--once`；其它选项包括 `--id`、`--console`、`--release` 和 `--poll-ms`。管理 API
+地址也可通过 `WASMELD_CONSOLE` 设置。
