[Ctk-developers] CLI module documentation

[Steve Pieper]

This figure illustrates how CLIs can run either as a shared library (inside
the box) or as an executable using different IO.  Mechanisms.  The other
figure shows the processing threads being isolated from the GUI thread
using a mutex locked message queue.

There are some other figures in these slides that might be helpful.

It might be good to draw newer figures though, since these are looking a
bit dated.
