Adds a section comparing ParallelKit with Start-Job, ThreadJob, PoshRSJob, ForEach-Object -Parallel and other options, and an FAQ covering the worker rules, platform support, abort behaviour and progress. Also corrects claims found in an accuracy review: window close skips the drain wait, which Windows versions ship 5.1, which callbacks stop a run when they throw, the -Cts/-CancelToken difference, held groups on cancel, QuickEdit, and remoting.
