Choosing another term for this one document would only create confusion,
and vendoring Buildbot to change it is a lot of work (as explained in
the linked Buildbot issue).
I spent a long time trying different combinations of primary and
verified emails, until a colleague tried it who happened to have a
public profile email set when I did not.
Document how this works to save everyone else the legwork.
* Move step 8 to later, after worker credentials have
been added to the buildmaster.
* Added command for starting the worker, in addition
to creating the worker. The latter only sets up the
directories.
* Noted that in step 6, it is expected that you get a
refused connection.
* Stated that the connection should be tried once,
and the worker then stopped.
We could mention that repeated connections with invalid
credentials will result in an IP ban, but it's probably
detail people don't need here.
If it did happen, then you would not know until you tried
the later steps. At which point you are already in contact
with Galina, who is the person who would help you with that
issue in any case.

The docs currently state that buildbot-worker 2.8.5 is used. However,
looking at the buildbot release notes
<http://docs.buildbot.net/current/relnotes/index.html>, this release
doesn't seem to exist (it's not on PyPI either). The document also links
to http://trac.buildbot.net/ as a source to retrieve an old version and
install it manually, but this is dead.
Instead, drop that advice and suggest pip3 install
buildbot-worker==2.8.4, as done by the Dockerfiles in
llvm-zorg/buildbot/google/docker/*.

This adds a step in the instructions to switch to the production buildmaster at the very end (after explicit approval), and updates the early instruction to start with the builder pointed at the staging buildmaster.

This builds on the text landed in 73d52ee78, and incorporates the points that Renato brought up.

This is based on conversations with a couple of folks currently running buildbots. There's a couple pieces which didn't make it in, but this tries to cover the common themes.

We generally prefer build bots which build each change as they come in as long as they can keep up. This generates much higher quality feedback to a developer. However, the code structure is such that we currently default new builders to batching.
This change updates the getting started instruction for a builder to explicitly advocate for not collapsing requests.

We don't have much publicly documented about how build bots are maintained, and who has what responsibility with regards to the bots themselves and failures they report.
This change adds some basic framing on the topic. It is intended to simplify document long standing practice, and to avoid introducing any new policy elements. I do want to propose a couple of changes, but those will happen with their own review and broader discussion.

Commit be9f322e8dc530a56f03356aad31fa9031b27e26 moved the list of workers from
slaves.py to workers.py, but the documentation in "How To Add A Builder" was
never updated and now references a non-existing file. This fixes that.

Recently [1], there was an upgrade to the version of buildbot being
deployed. The new setup will still work with old buildslaves but I
thought it might be a good idea to update the documentation to reflect,
that you now can use a newer buildbot version to when setting up your
worker (formely known as slave).
The upgrade from buildbot 0.8.5 to 2.8.5 went a long with a transition
to a new "worker" terminology [2] which is also reflected by this
change.

Summary:
This also adds docs to suggest that maintainers of buildbots for
experimental backends should use this buildmaster.
