Mention WooCommerce POS in the plugin readme (#69131)
docs(readme): Add WooCommerce POS to the mobile app paragraph and FAQ
The wp.org readme describes the mobile app but never mentions
WooCommerce POS, so merchants reading the WooCommerce listing have no
path to it.
Mention POS in the mobile app paragraph and add a short FAQ entry, both
linking the WooCommerce POS page with the listing's usual utm
parameters. Copy only; no code changes.
