Adds docs/faq.md, an English-only register of the questions people actually ask, with the best current answer. It starts with two entries:

  • Can I use the ESPHome Sprinkler controller? Yes, pick the valve switches directly and leave the controller's own sequencing out, since a second scheduler would end runs on its own clock.
  • Can I use a Rachio controller? Probably, not yet verified. The official integration exposes one switch per zone, but Rachio holds its own run time and is cloud based.

The page is linked from the README documentation list and from the FAQ section of the user manual.

Questions asked in forums and comments had no place to land, and the
answers given there were incomplete. Start an English-only FAQ register
with the first two: driving an ESPHome Sprinkler board and a Rachio
controller. Both answers rest on what the compatibility register and
the Home Assistant Rachio documentation actually say, including the
case where the controller times the run itself.

Link the page from the README and from the FAQ section of the user
manual.
