Documentation: Update FAQ a bit and move it into Documentation/

This was hiding on the serenityos.org website previously, where not
many people found it. Let's put it in a more natural location, and
also make sure to link to it from the README.

# Frequently Asked Questions about SerenityOS
## Will SerenityOS support `$THING`?
Maybe. Maybe not. There is no plan.
## When will you implement `$THING`?
Maybe someday. Maybe never. If you want to see something happen, you can do it yourself!
## Where are the ISO images?
There are no ISO images. This project does not cater to non-technical users.
## Why is the system 32-bit?
That's what Andreas was most familiar with when starting out. There's some interest in supporting 64-bit systems and that will eventually happen, but it's just another feature.
## I did a `git pull` and now the build is broken! What do I do?
If it builds on CI, it should build for you too. You may need to rebuild the toolchain. If that doesn't help, try it with a clean repo.
If you can't figure out what to do, ask in the `#build-problems` channel on Discord.
## Why don't you use `$LIBRARY` instead of implementing `$FEATURE` yourself?
The SerenityOS project tries to maximize hackability, accountability, and fun(!) by implementing everything ourselves.
