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.

 But buggy applications like bash and irssi for example don't do this. A fast

+    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.
