Known issues: How to recover an Electrum wallet

We receive once in a while consults of users that cannot open their Electrum wallet anymore.

I am almost convinced the wallet gets somewhat corrupted, and until now we have proposed users to

- Delete or move the wallet folder
- Recreate the wallet from the seed (reconfigure Electrum with the old seed)

We never hear from users again, so it looks like the process is working.

We should add it to the Known issues page and link mention it on the Electrum page, or add it on the same Electrum documentation, linked from Known Issues.

I am not sure of the best place for this workaround.
