doc: Document how to run a subset of regress tests
This patch was originally submitted a year ago, but never
ended up getting committed. It was later brought up again
on a recent thread on the same subject.
Original patch by Paul A Jungwirth with some wordsmithing
by me based on the review from the original thread.
