librelad 40aa6d9d1a docs: move dev/reference docs into docs/ + refresh FOOTPRINT for the 3-root layout
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.

# Contributing to LibrePortal
Thanks for wanting to help — LibrePortal is built in the open, and
contributions are genuinely welcome.
## Ground rules
- LibrePortal is **AGPLv3**. By contributing, your work is offered under that
same license (see the DCO below).
- **Match the surrounding code** — keep it simple and readable, and follow
the style of the file you're editing.
- Keep pull requests focused: one change per PR where you can.
## Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
We use the [DCO](https://developercertificate.org/) instead of a CLA — no
paperwork, just a sign-off certifying you have the right to submit your code.
Add a `Signed-off-by` line to every commit by committing with `-s`:
```bash
git commit -s -m "your message"
```
That appends:
```
Signed-off-by: Your Name <you@example.com>
```
By signing off, you agree to the DCO: that you wrote the patch (or otherwise
have the right to submit it) and that it may be included under the project's
AGPLv3 license.
