[PATCH 1/3] t1300: document current behavior of setting options

From

Message-ID

In-Reply-To
<20180808195020.37374-1-sbeller@google.com>

This documents current behavior of the config machinery, when changing the value of some settings. This patch just serves to provide a baseline for the follow up that will fix some issues with the current behavior.
