Adding the FAQ entry for zsh.

Thanks Roberto E. Vargas Caballero! You were committing this patch against the
wrong version of the FAQ, so I had to rewrite it.

+If you are using zsh, then read the zsh FAQ
+(http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq03.html#l25):
+
+       It should be noted that the O / [ confusion can occur with other keys
+       such as Home and End. Some systems let you query the key sequences
+       sent by these keys from the system's terminal database, terminfo.
+       Unfortunately, the key sequences given there typically apply to the
+       mode that is not the one zsh uses by default (it's the "application"
+       mode rather than the "raw" mode). Explaining the use of terminfo is
+       outside of the scope of this FAQ, but if you wish to use the key
+       sequences given there you can tell the line editor to turn on
+       "application" mode when it starts and turn it off when it stops:
+
+               function zle-line-init () { echoti smkx }
+               function zle-line-finish () { echoti rmkx }
+               zle -N zle-line-init
+               zle -N zle-line-finish
+
+Putting these lines into your .zshrc will fix the problems.
