f33e34f333 Add FAQ entry on how Cygwin counters install and update MITM attacks
* faq-setup.xml: Document how Cygwin secures installation and
	update against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.  Note that
	setup embeds a public key to check the signature of setup.ini,
	and that setup.ini includes SHA-512 cryptographic hashes.

8142972d87 Modernized user guide, API reference, and FAQ generation. Overall
effect is to move away from DocBook SGML and DJ Delorie's doctool and
toward pure DocBook XSL.  (There remains just one use of doctool, and
we have plans for replacing it, too.)  See ChangeLog for details.
