What this PR does

Adds 10 new FAQ entries to help new developers who are just getting started with Miden.

Motivation

The existing FAQ covers important technical questions, but they assume the reader already has a mental model of Miden. After spending time in the BuildOnMiden Telegram community, I noticed the same beginner questions appearing repeatedly questions that aren't currently answered in the FAQ.

Questions added

  • What is a note in Miden?
  • What is the difference between a public and a private transaction?
  • What programming languages can I use to build on Miden?
  • What is the difference between the Rust Client and the Web Client?
  • Is there a testnet? How do I connect to it?
  • Is Miden EVM-compatible?
  • How do I test my Miden smart contracts locally?
  • What is midenup and how do I install it?
  • Can I try Miden without installing anything?
  • Where can I get help if I'm stuck?

Notes

All existing FAQ entries are preserved exactly as written. This PR is purely additive.
