[documentation] Prep for 4.7 announcement help

[Charlie Lowe]

Could this be a good opportunity to create a 4.7 FAQ page as the first 
place that people should go to when considering installing or upgrading 
to 4.7? The new changes listed below could be one, "What are the major 
differences between 4.6 & 4.7?" question, with each item linking to a 
fuller explanation. Here's a tentative list

- Where do I download 4.7?
- Where do I download additional modules for 4.7?
- Where do I download additional themes for 4.7?
- What are the 4.7 system requirements?
- How do I install a new 4.7 site?
- How do I setup a multisite configuration in 4.7?
- How do I create or modify a 4.7 theme?
- How do I upgrade a 4.6 site to 4.7?
- What are the major differences between 4.6 & 4.7?
- What are the most common installation and upgrade issues with 4.7?
- Where can I post my support questions for 4.7?
- Where do I post bug reports?
- How can I keep up with security updates for 4.7?

Each FAQ question should have an anchor. Then at the first sign in the 
forums of problems with one of the items listed below, we can link 
directly to that question. This might help to limit the number of 
support questions from the same person regarding all the new changes and 
features. Also, having short lists in a FAQ with links to fuller 
explanations is more scannable (and thus more likely to be read) than a 
larger individual "What you need to know about 4.7? page.
