[PATCH] add FAQ about the status of symlink support.

While I've only been back in the IRC channel 4 hours, this question
came up twice. That's frequent to me.

* www/project_faq.html: add FAQ about the status of symlink support.

+<h3><a name="symlinks">Does Subversion support symlinks?</a></h3>
+
+<p>Subversion does not support symlinks, and there are no plans to
+include such support. The project prides itself in the portability of
+the software, and the concept of symbolic links are not portable across
+all the platforms that Subversion itself runs on.
+
+<p>That being said, if you happen to have a proposal for portably
+implementing symlinks across all supported platforms, do share your
+knowledge with us.
