Title: Improvements to "hacking" docs

Salt has a lot of Arch Linux users (after all, Arch is the best!), so
I added some information on building the docs in Arch where the python2
version of sphinx-build is called sphinx-build2.

Also, when setting up a standalone development environment in a
virtualenv, unless you are running as root (and the docs explicitly
direct you not to do so) you will not have write access to /var/run in
order to create the pidfile. So, the --pid-file argument should be used
to specify a different path.

Finally, a note on running the master and minion in the foreground in
debug mode was added.
