cookbook: Add examples and more text for "box layout" recipe

Browse Source 
Added 3 examples for the box layout recipe:
1) Simple box layout demonstrating how to set actor properties
2) Trivial menu implementation using box layout
3) Demonstration app which enables tweaking and testing
   of layout property interactions

Also inlined example 1 in the solution section and added
more explanatory text in the discussion.
