[~radu] Can you add a table to https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/scripting/scripting-htl.html?

I think we should hide the internal complexity in the documentation, like JS (with Rhino) -> Java -> HTL Runtime (based on Java) but there are definitely some overlaps between Java and JS types.

> The HTL specification only refers to language agnostic types like numeric, string or date. As the HTL Engine in Sling (or rather the use providers) map the native types in either Java or JavaScript accordingly there should be some information which native type is translated into which HTL type. This is crucial as e.g. in the context of SLING-10651 more types are now supported.
