testing: link to fuzzing guide and more details on runtime #51032

@ronaldpetty

Description

@ronaldpetty
$ go version
go version go1.18beta2 darwin/amd64

The go doc testing and this page https://pkg.go.dev/testing@master#hdr-Fuzzing still are pointing to #48255. They mention:

TODO(#48255): write and link to documentation that will be helpful to users who are unfamiliar with fuzzing.

Some details such as:

  • why does it run long (∞) and how to stop
  • maybe example quickly shows it 'finding' evil params (the current one ran for 30+ minutes and nothing found)
    • just to show what happens when it does, else you just see endless processing

I was asked to create new ticket (versus comment in #48255).

Looking forward to using it, and thanks for the hard work.
