Documentation should mention how to inject fluent theming #592

I want to get SSR working on a site which uses Fluent controls.

I went to the Griffel doc site and followed the weback extraction instructions. I got extraction working but none of the fluent controls seemed to be styled.

This was because there was no theme rendered. To get that working, I had to follow the instructions here: microsoft/fluentui#29052

I really am not totally sure if Griffel docs should mention Fluent, or if Fluent docs should replicate all the Griffel docs, but it's very tricky for mere mortals to figure everything out without deep communication with the team or really digging into past PRs and issues. I would love a basic "got a webpack app? Here's how you get the extraction working so that Fluent controls render." FWIW everything so far in the docsite is great and got me far enough, just that the theming step was not mentioned.

I think just a note in the docs about Fluent and theming would go pretty far here. We don't need a full on comprehensive walkthrough, just perhaps a mention that if you're working with Fluent controls, go to this other place for more related docs on supporting themes in SSR.
