expand documentation around sfn

This important variable is not documented anywhere else.  It is the
location in the cache where the minion recieves the file from the master
and then templates it or just moves it into place on the minion using

    try:
        salt.utils.copyfile(sfn,
                            real_name,
                            __salt__['config.backup_mode'](backup),
                            __opts__['cachedir'])
