47341a2338 Website: add image to 'Worker cannot find Manager' FAQ entry
Add a screenshot of the Manager's log on the terminal. This should make
it clearer which "Manager output" is meant, also for people who aren't
familiar with terminals.

153cfe7b5c Improve Troubleshooting FAQ: Add firewall and antivirus check
Updated the troubleshooting section of the FAQ to include guidance on checking the firewall and potential third-party antivirus issues when the Worker cannot connect to the Manager. This enhances the user experience by addressing common connectivity issues more comprehensively.

e2bca9ad61 Worker: add configuration for Linux out-of-memory killer
Add a Worker configuration option to configure the Linux out-of-memory
behaviour. Add `oom_score_adjust=500` to `flamenco-worker.yaml` to increase
the chance that Blender gets killed when the machine runs out of memory,
instead of Flamenco Worker itself.

c046094880 Manager: start replacing GORM with SQLC
GORM has certain downsides:

- Code-first approach, where queries have to be translated to the Go code
  required to execute them.
- GORM comes with its own SQLite implementation, which doesn't provide an
  on-connect callback. This means that new connections cannot correctly
  enable foreign key constraints, causing database consistency issues.

[SQLC](https://sqlc.dev/) solves these issues for us.

This commit doesn't fully replace GORM with SQLC, but introduces it for
a few queries. Once all queries have been converted, GORM can be removed
completely.

c3a306a9c5 Website: slight layout tweaks
A few smaller tweaks for the navigation menu (on the left, not the top):

- Smaller font. The upgrade to the latest Geekdocs made this bigger, but I
  like it if it's a bit smaller than the main text.
- More visible indicator line for the active element. This was a dashed
  underline of just the text. It is now a dashed border-bottom that extends
  the entire width of the element. This visibly connects the main body of
  text to the active menu element.

And for the main text:

- Less padding for `h3` elements, as the whitespace became a bit too much.

781aaa8282 Website: upgrade geekdocs to 0.44.1
Upgrade the Geekdocs theme from 0.32.4 to 0.44.1. This changes the layout
a little bit; most notably the 'documentation' menu is in a larger font.

I tried the upgrade to solve an issue of images not appearing (while
writing not-yet-committed changes). That wasn't solved by the upgrade, but
in the spirit of keeping up to date I'd thought I'd commit this upgrade
anyway.
