Merge lp://qastaging/~bladernr/checkbox/expand-config-file-explanations into lp://qastaging/~checkbox-dev/checkbox/ppa-packaging-plainbox-provider-canonical-certification

More docs are always welcome. Thanks Jeff

Looks good, thanks!

The VM timeout (3000 seconds) seems both a bit high (almost an hour) and strangely arbitrary (50 minutes, why not an hour or 45 minutes). I seem to remember the test waited this time regardless of whether the VM booted in seconds. I may be wrong here, so I don't want to necessarily ask for a change, but we should try to see how this works in pratice and maybe change it later.

FWIW, the 3000 second timeout that I put in the config file just
matches the default timeout that Marcom put into the script
initially... I just set the variable because leaving it blank was
causing issues with running the test :(

we can certainly revisit that in the future though for a more
reasonable timeout setting all the way around. I'll file a bug for
that now.

Nevermind, I must be on crack. I could have sworn that this had a
3000 second default timeout to give ample time for the image to
boot... :/ I'll fix it some other time... doesn't hurt anything for
now. Sheesh... now I'm imagining numbers...
