i've finally gotten off my lazy ass and added some updates to the FAQ
that have been queued for a while.

question A8 (what is close-to-open cache coherency?) has been
substantially updated to discuss noac, file locking, O_DIRECT, and write
caching behavior.

question D2 now has a better explanation of silly renames, based on some
recent questions to this mailing list.

question D12 has been added, describing how to use "umount -f" and
"umount -l".
