improve find fqbn FAQ (arduino#274)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As reported in multiple issues (arduino#138 arduino#191 arduino#271) finding the right FQBN for a board can be difficult.

Improving the documentation may help users to find the relevant information.

Specifically, this PR closes arduino#271 and add little improvement as suggested in arduino#191.
