Reorganize the Hurd FAQ in a single place
move all the hurd faq pages to the top-level faq directory; the faq.mdwn index now uses two simples map of all the subpages (one for the debian items, and the other for the non-debian items) TODO: now some of the items would need better titles

+[[!meta title="How difficult would it be to switch to another microkernel?"]]
+
+One would have to reimplement the `mach/` and `sysdeps/mach/` parts of
+[[glibc]] and [[libpthread]]. Quite a few other Hurd tools also assume a
+[[microkernel/Mach]] kernel and would have to be adapted or rewritten.
