Provide instructions on how to download & deploy a working FreeBSD install that's suitable for CI, as there are several gotchas not mentioned in the current docs. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

This doesn't necessarily need sudo: the other instructions kind of assume your regular user has access to qemu:///system, by being a member of the "libvirt" group for example. We should clarify that in the "Host setup" section (as a separate patch of course).

This doesn't need sudo either, and also please s/20/15/ as mentioned during the first round of reviews.

Please make sure this section containing commands, as well as the ones above, are indented with 4 spaces so that they show up in a monospace font when the document is rendered as HTML.
