Tidy the repo root (README + LICENSE stay there per convention; everything else
moves):
- CONTRIBUTING.md, PROMISE.md, FOOTPRINT.md -> docs/ (alongside USER.md/DEVELOPMENT.md)
- update the references: README links, the website site.json raw URLs, init.sh's
'see FOOTPRINT.md' comments -> docs/FOOTPRINT.md; drop the now-redundant
CONTRIBUTING.md export-ignore (docs/ is already export-ignored).
Refresh FOOTPRINT.md: it claimed 'everything lives under /docker', which is no
longer true. Now describes the three relocatable roots (system/containers/backups)
and makes explicit that the roots + manager name are baked into the helpers/unit/
wrapper at install (the privilege boundary) while this out-of-root footprint stays
fixed by design. Uninstall sketch + sudoers/unit rows updated for the configurable
manager. CONTRIBUTING/PROMISE were already current — left as-is.

Two guides covering what wasn't written down:
- USER.md: install (the install.sh one-liner), placing the three roots on separate
disks/external drives, channels, updating, backups (REQUIRE_MOUNT), uninstall.
- DEVELOPMENT.md: the install-mode/roots/users model + key files; running a dev copy
(local/git); cutting stable/edge releases (bump VERSION -> make_release.sh ->
dist/<channel>/{tarball,.sha256,latest.json} -> publish); testing a release
locally via LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL + python3 -m http.server (incl. checksum-refusal);
how release updates work; conventions.
README Quick start updated to the release flow + a docs pointer. docs/ is
export-ignored so it doesn't bloat release tarballs.

"Cloud" clashed with the project's anti-surveillance ethos and misdescribed
the service (it deliberately holds no plaintext). "Connect" reflects what it
actually does — reach and protect your self-hosted apps without us holding
your data.

- Add "Why LibrePortal" (privacy motivation) and "Acknowledgments"
(built from scratch since 2023, inspired by bmcgonag/docker_installs)
- Reframe LibrePortal Cloud with the plain-English "courier with a sealed
box" model: we only handle encrypted data, keys stay with the user
- Drop "Managed hosting — we run LibrePortal for you"
- Update Support to free community + optional paid priority
