* 📝 FAQ overhaul for Issue #2268

Reformat "Contents" to use the `.. contents::` directive
Reword "Critical" into "Critical Issues"
Reformat "Critical" section to define "critical issues"
Reformat FAQ sections to follow a new format
Reformat FAQ sections so individual questions have links

All sections now follow a new format (below).
A "frequently asked question" may also include a possible
cause and a solution (if the two are not obvious from
the context):

```rst
Section Title
=============

.. contents::
  :local:
  :backlinks: none

1. Question 1
-------------

**Possible Cause**: This is likely due to...

**Solution**: Fix with...
```

* ✏️ Correcting typos and links

Add period to `2. Error messages: ....`
Fix links to FAQ in Installation-Guide.rst

* ✏️ Removing FAQ link and correcting `python-package` README

Drop general FAQ link in `Installation-Guide.rst`
Add FAQ question links to `python-package/README.rst`

* added FAQ on early stopping (fixes #2270)

* fixed indentation in FAQ

* Update docs/FAQ.rst
Co-Authored-By: Nikita Titov <nekit94-08@mail.ru>

* 🎨 `sphinx.ext.autosummary` for generating Python-API summaries

Add `docs/.gitignore` to not track autosummary stubs
Add `sphinx.ext.autosummary` in `docs/conf.py`
  Add 'members' and 'inherited-members' as default parameters
  Add 'autosummary = True' for setting output with `:toctree:`
Add `.. autosummary::` tags to replace `.. autoclass::`

Previously the `Python-API.rst` dumped all of the Python API onto
a single page.

This replaces the Python-API documentation with an index listing
all modules, and paginates all functions and classes onto
separate pages.

* ✏️ Corrections following feedback

Drop `docs/.gitignore` to use the general `.gitignore`
Add `show-inheritance` to `autodoc_default_flags` in `docs/conf.py`
Fix `both` to `class` in `autoclass_content` in `docs/conf.py`

* ✏️ Replacing deprecated Sphinx parameter

Fix deprecated `autodoc_default_flags` to `autodoc_default_options`
