* (doc): Add file-truename to set org-roam-directory
Refer this debuging Slack exchange:
https://orgroam.slack.com/archives/CV160S8EL/p1619089118195300
Not using `file-truename` to set
`org-roam-directory` can lead to an issue that is
hard to identify.
It appears that cache database may updates with
files but `org-roam-buffer` fails to find the file
as symbolic links do not resolve. This is
confusing as the table query to the table seems to
return what appears to be correct entries, but the
backlink fails to insert context around the
link (as Org-roam fails to find the file).
There have been similiar issues -- by making sure
`file-truename` is added in the documentation and
README, it is hoped to eliminate such issues to
recur.
This is probably relevant for V2.

Follow on to #1345.
The discussion in the Slack thread further clarified what was exactly
confusing for a beginner reader of this Getting Started. When a user is using
the built-in completion (no ivy, no ido), then `org-roam-find-file` does not
immediately show any files -- instead, the user has to press TAB. This is not
explicitly mentioned.
Every file has a title when saved into the database, so this function is
redundant in most cases (e.g. in org-roam-buffer, where backlinks are
fetched from the database).
* (feat): add `org-roam-db-update-method`
Add `org-roam-db-update-method`, which can be one of two choices:
1. `immediate`: the cache is updated upon file changes
2. `idle-timer`: Marks the org-roam database as dirty. If Emacs idles
for some seconds, the Org-roam cache is updated. This is the default,
and current behaviour.
The idle method makes for a smoother editing experience, but some
inconsistencies can be faced.
* org-roam-update-db-idle-seconds -> org-roam-db-update-idle-seconds
- options: explicitly enable smart quotes on export
- zettelkasten introduction: add sections for fleeting notes and
permanent notes for easier access and reference
- anatomy: add a missing period
- encryption: clarify org-roam-encrypt-files is a user option
- roam protocol: remove extraneous heading
- roam protocol: small grammar fix
- doctor: explain what the doctor does by default
- org-roam-bibtex: explain part of what orb actually does
* (fix): fall back to org-id search ID face computation
Fixes the scenario where the face is reported as invalid although it is
part of Org's ID files (e.g. in the agenda).
Fixes#1191.
This can however slow face computation a lot (when there are many org
id/agenda files). Here, we choose to focus on correctness.
* Document faces, default to only applying to Org-roam notes
