Added a section for commonly reported solutions to issues that arise when installing MCP.

This will increase the value of the documentation by enabling easy access to common solutions. This additional context will provide increased efficiency in troubleshooting. Humans and AI models will benefit from this additional section by giving them pointers for where to look first when troubleshooting common issues.

Instead of adding "common issues" which promotes rabbit holes, we call it "common solutions" to promote taking action.

Hey @ctavolazzi, thanks so much for doing this!

Overall, this looks great - just added a quick comment about a potential typo.

<Accordion title="Commonly reported solutions">
- Verify required packages are up to date (must meet or exceed the MCP requirements)
- Change the config to use absolute paths (like `C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\test.db` or `/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/test.db`)
- Ensure `coreputils` is enabled (uvx requires it)

should this be coreutils instead of coreputils?
