Incomplete `method_name` argument documentation in `estimate_effect`

Ask your question
It would be very helpful to have more detail about the method_name argument of the estimate_effect method.
Currently, some examples of possible options are provided, but they are not comprehensive.

https://www.pywhy.org/dowhy/main/_modules/dowhy/causal_model.html#CausalModel.estimate_effect

Moreover, this seems not to be entirely correct
specific estimation method: "[backdoor/iv].estimation_method_name". Following methods are supported.
What about frontdoor methods such as frontdoor.two_stage_regression?

Expected behavior
I would like the documentation to list all of the possibilities for native method_names (I understand the econml method names have their own documentation).
