Update ARCHITECTURE.md (#578)
Closes #577
I wonder if we should also include the "next 3 months roadmap" under the
`Roadmap` section, but it seems like the document is still read/write
for everyone and I have a bad feeling just putting that in like that.

# Architecture
This document should be updated semi-regularly. Feel free to open an issue if it hasn't been updated in more than a year.
