improve references to source code that inspired the IOCCC

Updated `faq.md` and `README.md` to point at the BSD source for the
old Bourne shell.  Mentioned the GENIX operating system for the NS
SYS16 system.  Added a note that the links are only approximations
of the BSD code that inspired the IOCCC.
