Probably an FAQ: GMP version vs. library version

That's because they correspond to different concepts. The library
version denotes a compatibility in the function interface which can
stay the same when the internals of each function change a lot (and
hence, the "global" version number is increased).

I'm not sure it needs a FAQ item as those who should be concerned
about this discrepancy are the same who should know that it does not
matter.
