Adds a catalog (docs/usage-report.md) that lists every key the usage report carries, every setting deliberately left out, and the reason for each exclusion. Also adds an architectural decision record explaining why the report should cover every setting or runtime choice rather than adding keys on demand.

The catalog is the authoritative reference for analysis and the enforcement point for review: a pull request that adds a setting must either add a key or add an exclusion row, or it gets a review finding.

I did not do an indepth review since this is more TF subject matter territory.

Adds a catalog (`docs/usage-report.md`) that lists every key the usage report carries, every setting deliberately left out, and the reason for each exclusion. Also adds an architectural decision record explaining why the report should cover every setting or runtime choice rather than adding keys on demand.

The catalog is the authoritative reference for analysis and the enforcement point for review: a pull request that adds a setting must either add a key or add an exclusion row, or it gets a review finding.
Revises the 2026-10-01 coverage decision: security settings (authentication, HTTPS, CORS, forwarded headers, transport/database auth and encryption) are no longer reported, since a security reviewer could otherwise block the whole signed report and licensing has no need for the data.

Also narrows scope further: `SqlVersion` now reports only the major version (or `AzureSql`), and email notification details and licensed endpoint details are dropped as out of scope. Updates `docs/usage-report.md` to match, adding the "Security configuration" exclusion reason and removing the Security key table.

Links PR #5945 as the first implementation PR.
