[doc] add missing dependencies in annexes. explain more precisely source install. Feedback sent by Carlos Balderas.

"""a class implementing basic actions used in migration scripts.

The following schema actions are supported for now:
* add/drop/rename attribute
* add/drop entity/relation type
* rename entity type

The following data actions are supported for now:
* add an entity
* execute raw RQL queries
