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.

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.
