Add FAQ 3.20 - about entry/year tarballs

Browse Source 
This question is called '3.20 - How do I download individual entries or
entries of a given year?' and discusses both the individual entry
tarballs as well as the year based tarballs, each in a subsection. Each
part explains files that exist in the tarball and there are examples of
how one might make use of them after extracting the tarball. It gives an
example tarball name for each, including the path.

Two typo fixes were made in the FAQ 3.13 title (in the link at the top
and the actual question/answer as well).

Although the links in this new entry should work I have not yet checked
the file (though I did check those links added) and I will not until it
becomes clearer that not much more has to be done with the FAQ. Instead
I will focus on the entry html files and possibly together with that the
bugs.html file as well, to make sure of consistency.

Although one can clone the entire [winner
repo](https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner) to get the entire web site and all
entries, we also provide a way to download individual entries as well as a
way to download a year's winning entries.
Please note that some of the links in the html files will not work! This is
because you are not downloading the full website. If you want to view the entry
with links intact you should clone the repo or view it on the [official IOCCC
web site](https://www.ioccc.org) instead.
#### Individual winning entry tarballs
The individual entry tarballs are named in the form of
`YYYY/winner/YYYY_winner.tar.bz2` (e.g. `1984/mullender/1984_mullender.tar.bz2`)
and will have the following files:
- `ioccc.css` - stylesheet for the html files
- `var.mk` - the top level Makefile included by all the other Makefiles that holds variables used by the Makefiles
- `YYYY/winner/.path` - directory path from top level directory
- `YYYY/winner/.entry.json` - entry summary and manifest in JSON
- `YYYY/winner/.gitignore` - list of files that should not be committed under git
plus the winning entry files like source code, the Makefile, supplementary data
provided by the author and any other file found in the winning entry, found in
`YYYY/winner`.
If you downloaded `1984/mullender/1984_mullender.tar.bz2`, for instance, you might
then do:
```sh
cd 1984/mullender
make everything
./mullender.alt
```
to compile and run all versions and then run the alternate version (if you have
a PDP-11 or VAX-11 you would be able to run the original version).
If you want to view the index.html file you can point your browser to the
index.html file of the winning entry (e.g. `1984/mullender/index.html`) with the
caveats noted above.
#### Year based tarballs
The year based tarballs, which are under each year's directory and are named in the form
of `YYYY/YYYY.tar.bz2`, have, along with each entry's directory and their
respective files (as if you downloaded each entry tarball of the year
individually as described above), the following files:
- `.filelist` - list of files in the year that are not part of a winning entry of the year, including the `YYYY.tar.bz2` tarball
- `index.html` - the `YYYY/index.html` file rendered from the `YYYY/README.md` file
- `Makefile` - Makefile for the year to compile etc. all entries of the year
- `README.md` - the source of the `YYYY/index.html` file
- `rules.txt` - rules of the year's contest
- `.year` - text file that has a list of the winning entries' directories of the year
Additionally, some will have extra files like:
- `.gitignore` - list of files that should not be committed under git
- `guidelines.txt` - the guidelines of the year
- `iocccsize.c` - `iocccsize` tool of the year
- `iocccsize.mk` - Makefile to compile the `iocccsize` tool of the year
- `iocccsize-test.sh` - test suite for the `iocccsize` tool
.. and perhaps some others we have missed as well.
If you extract a year's tarball you can `cd YYYY` (e.g. `cd 1984`) and then run
`make everything` to compile the entries and alt code of every entry), as if you
switched to each entry's directory and ran `make everything` in each one.
If you want to view the index.html files you can point your browser to the
index.html file of the year (e.g. `1984/index.html`) or an entry's individual
index.html file or other html file (e.g. `1984/mullender/index.html`) again with
the caveats noted earlier.
