ref-manual: Added "leakage" FAQ entry.
Fixes [YOCTO #6852]
I added a new FAQ entry to address situations where during a
native build, the build fails due to previously installed stuff
on the system from /usr/local/include and /opt. The entry
tries to cover "leakage" issues in general but calls out the
specific case involving libiconv and iconv.h.
