[draft] Migration documentation: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPL/pages/3770744958

Notes:

• This is a breaking change: users of the new version of Paragon cannot not use design tokens/CSS variables. A migration strategy will need to be discussed.

• There was some discussion around dark mode: should we have a defaultLight and defaultDark setting?

• How about other a11y concerns? We should consult an accessibility expert.
