Research direction

Compare the component-docs WIT reference at https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/design/wit.html with the official WIT spec linked in the issue. Update the reference to cover the new map type, nested package definitions, and @external-id("example.com") where applicable; done means the documentation reflects the cited spec changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As of writing, map<k,v> types, nested package defintiions, and @external-id("example.com") have been added to the official WIT spec.

The component-docs reference should be updated (for at least the map type) to reflect the changes.
