Docs: Clarify merge request Assignee vs Reviewer vs Approver

Problem to solve

What is the purpose of Assignee vs Reviewer vs Approver? Is an Approver also inherently a Reviewer?

These sections of docs seem to partially contradict one another. Additionally which can be assigned and how many in which get edition? Appears Assignee is documented but not Reviewer regarding if it supports multiple or not. It appears Approvers are not assigned but rather implied by approving MR?
