faq: Sort BLODA list and update advice on fixing fork failures
* faq-using.xml (bloda): Alphabetically sort BLODA list for ease of finding things in it. (fixing-fork-failures): Update to suggest rebase-trigger rather than running rebaseall via dash yourself. Mention detect_bloda CYGWIN token. Signed-off-by: Jon Turney <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk>
