Fix some broken links in Cygwin FAQ

Browse Source 
GNU no longer encourages the use of documentation mirrors, to avoid
referring to obsolete documentation.  Also www.fsf.org/manual/ is
just a redirect to www.gnu.org/manual/

Links to using-utils.html #fragments are no longer correct as each utility
is now a separate page, since 646745cb.

indiana.edu seems to have moved XLiveCD information, without a redirect.

Linking to clean_setup.pl on cygwin.com doesn't work, as direct downloads
aren't allowed, so instead state where it can be found on a mirror.
