Add to quick start documentation: once you create a case, do not change the sandbox #129

A seemingly unintuitive aspect of CESM/cime is that, once you have created a case from a particular directory, it is very important not to change the code checked out in that directory until you are completely done with your case. Is that documented somewhere? I don't see it in the quick start guide, and that seems like a good place to include a warning about this. Maybe we can have a section at the end like "Important points to bear in mind"?

We should be able to check hashes and let the user know if the sandbox has changed.

There is already an issue for this in cime, opened by @ekluzek - ESMCI/cime#2726. I still feel this should be documented somewhere, whether or not we do this checking in cime.
