README: document the need to increase cloud build timeout
It's unfortunate to introduce an extra step of setting a global
configuration value to the deploy process. It would be better if
this could be an application-scoped setting specified in the app.yaml
configuration. However, that doesn't seem to be possible, and after
reading through documentation and waiting to hear any suggestions at
golang/go#28046, I have not become aware of a better solution.
Document this approach for now, and if we learn of a better solution
in the future, this can be improved then.
Fixes golang/go#28046

# Deployment
+Building the playground Docker container takes more than the default 10 minute time limit of cloud build, so increase its timeout first (note, `app/cloud_build_timeout` is a global configuration value):
+
+```
+gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 1200 # 20 mins
+```
+
+Then:
+
```
gcloud --project=golang-org --account=person@example.com app deploy app.yaml
```
