docs: Update FAQ.md - Recomendation adjustment (#7025)

Browse Source 
This doc still says the Pi 2 is an option for Klipper, in this day and age, i am not sure it is. From anecdotal evidence, the lowest pi recommended should be the zero2w. I also changed the wording and removed some Octoprint wording in that section to better reflect how things are today, as i don't think even with virtual_sdcard these older devices will keep up.
