bug#24040: download instructions incomplete

[Jay Walker]

Nice, guys, I'm happy to see that the FAQ is being brought back! The way I see it as a relatively new Emacs user is that more people would get into it if the very beginning stages were explained very completely. Think about it if you were a middle school student, what would you need to get started with this wonderful and seemingly cryptic, dark world?

Maybe it is a good idea to mention de addpm.exe utility for creating the
shorcuts, and emacs.exe/emacsrun.exe for directly executing Emacs? Oh,
wait:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq-w32.html#Installing-binaries

but the FAQ is not referenced from

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html

In fact, I found no link at all to the Windows FAQ. That's a waste,
because the FAQ contains lots of useful info.
