Need a page on Execution context

[552020]

MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/this

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I didn't know where exactly to post the issue. I went for "this" cause the value of "this" is strictly related to the execution context.

Specific section or headline?

What did you expect to see?

Did you test this? If so, how?

Note to whoever works on this (likely a.k.a. note to myself):

It doesn't need execution contexts to understand this. this is just a hidden parameter of a function call. If you understand how parameter scoping works, you automatically understand this. Execution contexts would be more important for closures, async/await, generators, etc.

We do need more documentation on execution contexts, but it would not be very related to this. The this documentation does need a bit of work, but that would be a separate task.
