Add an FAQ on choice of licenses. #110

For reasons which I've explained elsewhere (cf. https://github.com/coq-community/templates/issues/34#issuecomment-634565291 and https://github.com/coq-community/corn/pull/99#issuecomment-667997810), I believe that we should encourage the Coq community in general, and the coq-community projects in particular, to adopt more permissive licenses and to move away from LGPL (at least for new projects). This FAQ item in the manifesto's README should be a step in this direction.
