Document restricting DMs to teammates in Mattermost's README
Answers a real gap: Teams alone don't limit who can Direct Message whom — that's a separate System Console setting (TeamSettings.RestrictDirectMessage), free in Team Edition. Documented it in the Teams section along with the caveat that it only filters the DM picker UI, not a hard boundary (existing DMs unaffected, multi-team users can still DM across all their teams).
