66a8329a61 docs: trim the FAQ entry per review
Applies @glyn's suggestions: less emphatic phrasing, and the SLCC1 detail
replaced by a link to issue 208 rather than restated here.

bcc4e408e2 test: pin the SLCC1/SLCC2 false positive from #208
The non-AI user agent list covers synthetic prefix/suffix variants
(NotCursor, CursorNot). It had no real-world agent that embeds a listed
name mid-string, which is what #208 actually reported: SLCC1 and SLCC2 in
older Internet Explorer and Trident agents span the listed agent LCC.

Verified the case is load-bearing: removing the word boundaries from
list_to_pcre fails this test with
  AssertionError: <re.Match object; span=(65, 68), match='LCC'> is not None

Also document in the FAQ that agent names are matched as whole words, for
anyone consuming robots.json directly and writing their own matcher.

9295b6a963 Clarify our rationale
I deleted the point about excessive load on
crawled sites as any other crawler could potentially
be guilty of this and I wouldn't want our scope to
creep to all crawlers.
