FAQ: Repeat advice to use ./run.
...
The two adjacent sections can be read separately, and the second
section doesn't mention not using make install / using ./run, so
repeat it a second time.

podwrapper: Remove =encoding from input files and add it back in podwrapper.
...
This changes podwrapper so that the input (POD) files should not
contain an =encoding directive. However they must be UTF-8.
Podwrapper then adds the '=encoding utf8' directive back during final
generation.
This in particular avoids problems with nested =encoding directives in
fragments. These break POD, and are undesirable anyway.
