Document Teams setup in Mattermost's generated README
Team Edition includes multiple Teams natively (no Enterprise license needed), but nothing in the generated README said so or explained how to create one. Added a Teams section covering creation, adding members, and multi-team membership, plus a one-line pointer in the install summary.

## Teams
|
||||
Team Edition (the free edition this installer uses) includes multiple Teams
|
||||
natively — separate spaces (their own channels, their own members) on the
|
||||
same server, same database, same login. No Enterprise license needed; this
|
||||
is the resource-efficient alternative to running a second Mattermost
|
||||
instance for a second group.
|
||||
|
||||
Create one:
|
||||
- Click the **+** at the bottom of the team sidebar (the narrow column on
|
||||
the far left) → **Create a new team**, or
|
||||
- System Console → User Management → Teams → **Create Team**
|
||||
|
||||
Add people to a team:
|
||||
- Team name (top-left) → **Invite People** → share the invite link, or send
|
||||
email invites (requires SMTP — System Console → Environment → SMTP), or
|
||||
- System Console → User Management → Teams → the team → **Add Members**
|
||||
(adds existing server accounts directly, no invite flow)
|
||||
|
||||
Users can belong to more than one team and switch between them via the team
|
||||
sidebar icons. By default any user can create a team — restrict that at
|
||||
System Console → User Management → Permissions if you only want admins
|
||||
creating them.
