ffeda5e429 manual/faq: add section about why no binary packages
It comes up every now and then on the list, so better be prepared to
point at the manual, rather than rehash the same every time.

Most of the chapter is a copy-paste of the report from the Buildroot
Developpers Day in Pragues, 2011-10-28:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-November/047229.html

We consider the opinions expressed in that report to be still valid
now, two years later.

163ec17904 docs/manual: remove FAQ entry about 'depends on' vs. 'select'
The FAQ is before the section on package development, and only covers
user issues, not developer issues, so the FAQ entry about 'depends on'
vs. 'select' really doesn't have its place here.

And the 'depends on' vs. 'select' issue is already covered in a later
section, see
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#depends-on-vs-select.
