Problem: The FAQ entry about filling up `/tmp` uses a different path for `statedir` when creating the directory vs using it in a job. This is confusing for users. Fix the typo.

Nit: can we be consistent with spacing for code blocks? This one has indentation that is much smaller than the others.

Sorry I copied the example right before this code block which has an indent of 1. There are also code blocks in this file with indent of 2, 3, and 4. I'll tack on an extra commit to standardize on 4.
Edit: actually I used 2. 4 seems excessive and most code-blocks were using 2 space indent.
Problem: There are no example errors in the FAQ entry about full `/tmp`, but this may be useful for users searching for errors via a search engine. Add some example errors to the FAQ entry.
Problem: An example in the FAQ uses `flux start -o,-S...`, an outdated usage. Update the example to `flux start -S...`.
Problem: Some code-blocks in faqs.rst use different number of spaces for the indent. Change all the indents to 2 spaces.

Problem: Linkcheck fails in ci for https://mcs.anl.gov/papers, but this link works fine outside of github. Add the paper URL to the list of linkcheck errors to ignore.
Problem: The Spack project install link is broken. Drop the `#install` from the URL.

@ryanday36 noticed a typo in the FAQ entry on using
statedir. Additionally, it was suggested that adding some example errors would be helpful here.
