docs: describe what the Enterprise server shares with the license service

[SunsetDrifter]

Summary

The Enterprise page says "Nothing phones home for your network traffic" but never says what the license check does send, which is a question that comes up in every security review of a self-hosted deployment. This adds a FAQ entry to selfhosted/enterprise/index.mdx listing what the server shares with the license service (installation UUID, reporter ID, version, uptime, usage counters), what is never included, that the counters are part of the validation call, and a pointer to the separate anonymous usage metrics and their disable switch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Enterprise documentation adds a FAQ about data shared with the NetBird license service. It also updates the Summary with the same license validation details.

Changes

Enterprise license data documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
License data disclosure src/pages/selfhosted/enterprise/index.mdx	Adds FAQ and Summary content that documents shared identifiers, version, uptime, usage counters, excluded data, and controls for anonymous metrics.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 157cb

The disclosure can confuse Enterprise operators about whether aggregate usage counters are shared. Clarifying that individual records and identifiers are excluded keeps the documentation accurate; the impact is limited to wording clarity.

the aggregate counters: state that aggregate peer and user counters are
included, while no individual records, identifiers, network, traffic, IP
address, or platform data are sent. Update both affected statements and retain
