docs: move more content out of the FAQ
Moved a bunch of MCA-related content out of faq/general-tuning to a new file in running-apps/tuning.rst. Removed AMCA documentation because that functionality has morphed into the "--tuned" functionality. Indeed, the --am CLI parameter is silently converted to --tuned.
