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.

- First run: create admin account at the URL above

## 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.
## Voice/Video Calls (Calls plugin)
Port 8443/udp must be open on your router/firewall.
