[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] docs/chamelium: add quick-start commands and network setup

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

This saves people from searching how to use the serial console again, and how
to configure network.

Additionally, the /etc/network/interfaces file uses an old Debian-like format
so `address 192.168.1.42/24` won't work, one needs to explicitly write down the
network mask.
