docs: add a community resources section

docs

There are a few scattered references to the MicroPython forum in the documentation, but I propose adding an additional section highlighting where newcomers can go to find additional self-education and learning resources, such as:

the forum
the wiki
Awesome MicroPython list
any chat servers (specifically Slack)

I'll happily work on this obviously under review from project leads.

@dpgeorge I think you would be the most qualified, when you get a quiet moment, to write down a few of the FAQ and responses that you can think of. I have created a page and linked it on the sidebar, but I have not been in the project long enough to give any good answers (or questions!)

Both items are documentation-related and concern community resources/knowledge base. Issue #8608 proposes adding a dedicated 'community resources' section to the docs that would include links to the forum, wiki, Awesome MicroPython list, and chat servers. Issue #1240 is specifically about populating the wiki with FAQs. While they share the same general domain (community documentation) and the wiki is mentioned as a resource in #8608, they address different specific tasks: one is about creating a resources hub/section, the other is about adding FAQ content to the wiki. Neither resolves the other.

Suggested action

Keep both issues open as they address distinct documentation tasks. The FAQ work in #1240 could be referenced as part of the community resources section proposed in #8608, but they are not duplicates.
