DanHam c9e6ffa91c Add warning note about using the 'winrm quickconfig -q' command
A lot of examples out there on the web make use of this command to
configure the instance to allow connections over WinRM. Since the
danger is not immediately obvious and the failure because of its use
intermittent, we should do our best to advise against its use here.

DanHam dc45bd381c Manually set up all required for remote management. Use in-built FW rules
Use of 'winrm quickconfig' can sometimes cause the Packer build to fail
shortly after the WinRM connection is established.

* When executed the 'winrm quickconfig -q' command configures the
  firewall to allow management messages to be sent over HTTP (port 5985)
* This undoes the previous command in the script that configured the
  firewall to prevent this access.
* The upshot is that the system is configured and ready to accept WinRM
  connections earlier than intended.
* If Packer establishes its WinRM connection immediately after execution
  of the 'winrm quickconfig -q' command, the later commands within the
  script that restart the WinRM service cause the established
  connection, and consequently, the overall build to fail.

SwampDragons 9b692f2598 Merge pull request #5427 from hashicorp/docs_work
Okay, I'm going to merge these docs as-is under the opinion that an example that works 99% of the time is better than no example.  @DanHam I'm still happy to test out other boot configs but I've put a fair amount of time into trying to get your suggestions to work and haven't gotten it doing what it's supposed to for AWS.
