Document the algorithm behind optuna

See original GitHub issue

As a user/researcher I would like to easily be able to find information on what kind of algorithm stands behind optuna, to be able to make informed decision on using it in my work. Currently main page says only that it does “Bayesian optimization”.

As a user I would like to see detailed documentation about the algorithm behind the Study.optimize method, when I check the documentation page for this method, so that I can understand what does the method do. Currently the documentation page only says that it “optimizes an objective function”.

When I have more time to play around with it and go through some of the code, I’ll consider contributing by improving the documentation.
