(DOCS): More work on the technical specifications.

Moved them to a dedicated directory, but I cannot use doc since ExDoc
generates code there which is ignored by the git ignore file.

Application specifications.
## Page Requirements
This section outlines the specific technical requirements for the application. It is broken down
by page.
#### Home
Home page will server as the landing page where users can search recipes, filter their search, as
well as view lists of recently made recipes, and other (**undetermined**) lists.
##### UI Requirements
- Search bar
- [ ] Ability to search for recipes, meals, and tags
- Filter drop down
- [ ] **Filter by meal** - *breakfast, lunch, dinner, side, any*
- [ ] **Filter by time requirements** - *15min, 30min, 1hr, 1.5hr, +1.5hr*
- [ ] **Filter by difficulty** - *1 to 5 stars*
- Make again list
- [ ] Scrolling list of the most recent 5-10 recipes **made**
- [ ] **How do we determine what recipes were made?***
- [ ] **Display recipe details** - Title, duration, **image***, and a heart to like the recipe
- Another scrolling list*
'*': Not sure yet, still under consideration
##### API Requirements
- Search bar
- [ ] Text search on titles based on search query
- [ ] Text search on tags based on search query
- [ ] Text search on **meal** based on search query
- Filter drop down
- [ ] Update search to only contain meals from selected filter
- [ ] Update search to only contain means that meet the time requirement of the selected filter
- [ ] Update search to only contain meals that meet the difficulty level of the selected filter

## Database Requirements
This section outlines the specific technical requirements for the database store for
this application. It will describe the required tables, fields, and other expectations.
##### Table ID Choice
Typically, I like to use UUID's for ID's. However, after some research I have concluded that for this
application, the use of the `SERIAL` or `BIGSERIAL` type will work sufficiently. Security is not a huge
concern with this application since no major data will be stored, however, measures will still be in
place (of course).
One of the biggest reasons **I** choose UUID's is their obscurity which provides some basic security
against specific attack styles (enumeration attacks, etc.), however, I do not anticipate that being a
large concern, so the simplicity of using an integer will surpass the small, niche benefits of using
UUID's.
### Tables
Below is a breakdown of the required tables and their respective fields. The fields will
also have a list of attributes which are to be implemented at the database level. **JSONB**
data fields will also have a small example object. A more in-depth data structure can be
found in **OTHER** section.
