right, we don't have anything about jtreg test in `/doc` (other than about execution), I guess this is partially b/c
jtreg documentation is sufficient enough, partially b/c different areas/teams/components/subcomponents/... have
different views on what good jtreg test is, and partially b/c we have never dedicated enough resources to make it done.
I'd say though that there is a JBS issue (or two) to address that and add documentation about different jtreg tags and
how they are to be used, available test libraries, keywords, etc.
