Additional docs for doJailbreak

Browse source 
Yesterday with @infinisil on #nixos, he pointed me to: peti/jailbreak-cabal#7 after a good deal of time wrangling through a package to make it work.

And after much experimenting and looking through, it turned out that jailbreaking wasn't working as expected, and its documentation could point it out to avoid future confusion.

Instead of jailbreaking, you can patch the cabal file.
