## What are you changing in this pull request and why?
The BigQuery OAuth application requires some scopes to access Google
Drive files. This is adding a quick FAQ to the bottom of the page in
order to clarify why this is needed as part of the BQ OAuth connection
and links to external docs from the Google team.
