Yann E. MORIN 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.
