[docs/base] add a type tree for Number (JuliaLang#45975)

* [docs/base] add a type tree JuliaLang#24741 Generated using the following code with manual modifications ```jl using AbstractTrees AbstractTrees.children(x::Type) = subtypes(x) print_tree(Number) ``` * [docs/base] mark "Abstract Type" * [docs/base] add a blurb for the tree * Update numbers.md Co-authored-by: Kristoffer Carlsson <[email protected]>

 ## Standard Numeric Types
 
+A type tree for all subtypes of `Number` in `Base` is shown below.
+Abstract types have been marked, the rest are concrete types.
+```
+Number (Abstract Type)
+├─ Complex
+└─ Real (Abstract Type)
+ ├─ AbstractFloat (Abstract Type)
+ │ ├─ Float16
+ │ ├─ Float32
+ │ ├─ Float64
+ │ └─ BigFloat
+ ├─ Integer (Abstract Type)
+ │ ├─ Bool
+ │ ├─ Signed (Abstract Type)
+ │ │ ├─ Int8
+ │ │ ├─ Int16
+ │ │ ├─ Int32
+ │ │ ├─ Int64
+ │ │ ├─ Int128
+ │ │ └─ BigInt
+ │ └─ Unsigned (Abstract Type)
+ │ ├─ UInt8
+ │ ├─ UInt16
+ │ ├─ UInt32
+ │ ├─ UInt64
+ │ └─ UInt128
+ ├─ Rational
+ └─ AbstractIrrational (Abstract Type)
+ └─ Irrational
