Updated the load test so that it runs for 20 minutes, to give lab participants enough time to get through all the instructions. Added in some additional clarifying instructions.

Also fixed:
-Some out-of-date references to CPU limits
-Added in a note about the load test guidelines outside of this lab exercise

There are quite a few additional references to CPU limits in later sections of resource-mgmt.md, which may need updating. I will try to fix those in a future PR but need to review it w/ you first.

Thanks @alitman-bcgov , changes look great. Good that you updated the recommendations about settings limits here and improved the load test. Let's discuss the one section I commented on and make some changes before brining these changes in?

This will cause the pod to re-deploy with updated resources.

If a resource quota applies to a resource request, then the pod should define a resource request. If a resource quota applies to a resource limit, then the pod should also define a resource limit. We recommend ALWAYS defining resource requests and limits for all workloads.
If a resource quota applies to a resource request, then the pod must define a resource request. If a resource quota applies to a resource limit, then the pod must also define a resource limit. We recommend always defining resource requests for all workloads. CPU limits are not required and are generally best left unset for performance reasons. Memory limits are also not required, but are a good idea to set.

This section needs some adjusting, as we don't have resource quotas for limits anymore. All resource quotas are based on request.
