[DOC PATCH] teach perlfaq1 about 5.10

Questions:

 - Do we want to try to predict when Perl 6 will (or will not) be
   released?  Am I accurate, or at least not inaccurate?

 - How are (were) production releases measured?  I count 28 production
   releases over the last 14 years, ten of which were (or will be) major
   (aka minor) version increments.
