doc: diagnose problem with RTC interrupts on Linux

This commit updates the FAQ with a new entry.

chronyd's Linux RTC driver (rtc_linux.c) requires the following ioctl
requests to be functional:

  RTC_UIE_ON
  RTC_UIE_OFF

However, a Linux system's RTC driver does not necessarily implement them,
as noted in these previous commits:

  Thu Dec 12 12:50:19 2019 +0100

Fortunately, the Linux kernel can be built with software emulation of
these hardware requests, by enabling the following config variable:

  CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL
    Provides an emulation for RTC_UIE if the underlying rtc chip
    driver does not expose RTC_UIE ioctls. Those requests generate
    once-per-second update interrupts, used for synchronization.

    The emulation code will read the time from the hardware
    clock several times per second, please enable this option
    only if you know that you really need it.

This commit records these facts for the benefit of the user.
