David Steele c8f863fbab Text execution improvements:
1) Tests for all operating systems can now be run with a single command.
2) Tests can be run in parallel with --process-max.
3) Container generation now integrated into test.pl
4) Some basic test documentation.

<title>Introduction</title>
<p><backrest/> uses Docker to run tests and generate documentation. Docker's light-weight virualization provides the a good balance between proper OS emulation and performance (especially startup)</p>
<p>A `Vagrantfile` is provided that contains the complete configuration required to run <backrest/> tests and build documentation. If Vagrant is not suitable then the `Vagrantfile` still contains the configuration steps required to build a test system.</p>
<p>Note that this is not required for normal operation of <backrest/>.</p>

<p>The easiest way to start testing <backrest/> is with the included `Vagrantfile`.</p>
<code-block title="Build Vagrant and Logon">
cd test
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
</code-block>
<p>The <code>vagrant up</code> step could take some time as a number of Docker containers must also be built. The <code>vagrant up</code> command automatically logs onto the VM.</p>
