Create a list of Composer topics that need documentation

There is a number of workflow questions around Composer that need official docs.
It needs to be made clear that Composer doesn’t need to be run on a server, it can be run locally and the resulting vendor/ directory committed/upload. Previous drush make workflows need to be mapped, etc.

Jeff Geerling's blog post is a good initial overview: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2017/composer-and-drupal-are-still-str..., we start from there. The next step would be to read the two drupal.org issues: #2845379: Provide optional composer integration but don't force users to understand how to use composer → and #2477789: Use composer to build sites → and extract their complaints.

Once posted here, these topics can be worked on.

Current documentation

This is a list of at least some of the places where we are providing Composer documentation already so that we can remember to read/update them.

https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-tools.html → - Overview of what composer is, from the User Guide
https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-composer.html → - Using Composer to download files, from the User Guide.
https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer → - This guide contains various pages documenting using composer for various tasks and is likely the place that most people are going to find information

There has been no discussion here for 6 years, so maybe the problem in the issue summary have been resolved? I checked and the pages linked to in the issue summary have all been updated since then. And there are other pages as well that are kept up to date, such as, https://www.drupal.org/docs/updating-drupal/updating-drupal-core-via-com... → . I think that existing documentation has improved over the intervening years to resolve this. I think that this can be closed as outdated.
