754417 - Document releng mock setup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

We are currently using mock for b2g builds, but would like to create mock environments for everything we builds on Linux. 

With John Ford moving over to b2g, we need to get the current mock environment documented, especially any deviations from the upstream mock implementation, plans to upstream those changes, etc.
