[skip changelog] Improve wording of FAQ re: boards w/o dedicated VID/PID (#1097)
* [skip changelog] Improve wording of FAQ re: boards w/o dedicated VID/PID Some minor wording improvements for readability/correct terminology. * [skip changelog] Mention Nano in FAQ re: boards w/o dedicated VID/PID The classic Nano is the sole active official board without a custom VID/PID, so it's especially important to mention it in this FAQ.
