Testing Actors document should mention receive options
The current Testing Actors document mentions only 'expectMsg' with regard to testing the reception of a message. However, the example code makes reference to further facilities, such as receiveWhile. No where is receiveWhile explained, nor is it mentioned if these are the only two options. Please:
- document options for message reception from the testActor
- and document the functionality of the currently exposed options.

The plan was to not document every option but instead link to the API docs. Peter, can we do this over the weekend? I am thinking of an extension akin to :api:`akka.testkit.TestKit#receiveWhile`. The base for the link would be configured in conf.py and differ for release-1.1 and master.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. Now that the API is being published automatically we can add that. I don't think I'll get to it until next week some time at the earliest. If you'd like to contribute it that would be great.
