The Teams interface was extracted from Contacts again: the circles app registers its own navigation entry (gated on the frontend_enabled app setting) and ships its own frontend, while Contacts now only exposes team management when that interface is disabled, via the isTeamManagementEnabled initial state. The user manual still described Teams as "a feature embedded in the Contacts app", which sends readers to the wrong place.

The problem
The user manual describes Teams as "a feature embedded in the Contacts app". That is no longer where users find it, so the one place in the manuals that explains what a Team is points at the wrong app.
What actually happens now
<name>Teams</name>and registers its own navigation entry from code rather thaninfo.xml, gated on thefrontend_enabledapp setting (default on), so it stays in sync with itsPageControllerand dashboard widget.isTeamManagementEnabledinitial state, because the team views depend on the circles store module being registered.So the two are deliberately mutually exclusive, and "embedded in Contacts" is now the fallback case rather than the default.
This change
Follow-ups, deliberately not in this PR
images/circle.png, alt text "Teams in the Contacts app left menu") and needs retaking in the Teams app.ITeamManager,ITeamResourceProvider,ITeamFolderProvider) is undocumented for app developers even though Files, Talk and Deck implement it. Those pages are worth their own PRs.
