Documentation for Build

Our Build release will bring sizeable changes to the Virtual Assistant solution accelerator (moving to a template) and the addition of Skills to Bot Framework all-up.

Therefore a new set of documentation is required. This is a living issue to track the outstanding documentation required and progress, feel free to add.
