[Simon Ser <simon.ser@intel.com>]

For debugging purposes, it's useful to be able to send manual XML-RPC calls to
the Chamelium. This commit adds an example call and links to the utility and
the Chamelium API interface docs.

 Debugging the Chamelium
 -----------------------

+It is possible to manually send Chamelium RPC calls with the xmlrpc utility
+(from xmlrpc-c). For instance, to plug the DisplayPort port:
+$ xmlrpc http://192.168.1.2:9992 Plug i/1

+The xmlrpc utility documentation is available at:
+http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/doc/xmlrpc.html

 the board via SSH or serial console and looking at the daemon logs from
 /var/log, such as:
