Fixes #1246

What changed

The cloud article did not mention how emails leave a cloud instance. Added in EN and DE:

  • FAQ: new entry Which sender address do emails from my cloud instance use? explaining that the instance ships with a working SMTP configuration and sends from no-reply@i-doit.cloud, so no mail server has to be set up.

The text deliberately states only the preconfigured setup and does not discuss changing it. The table row in the on-premise comparison that an earlier revision added was removed again after review.

Background check

Verified on an isolated i-doit 38 test instance in cloud mode ($g_is_cloud = '1', all cloud-able features active): the feature smtp-settings is not cloud-able, so the SMTP configuration entry is not part of the Administration tree there. This is consistent with the wording above.

#1246)

Cloud instances ship with an SMTP configuration from i-doit and send as
no-reply@i-doit.cloud; customers may still enter their own mail server.
Added as a row in the on-premise comparison table and as an FAQ entry,
EN and DE, both linking to the SMTP configuration article.

Corrects the previous wording: cloud customers cannot enter their own mail
server. Verified on a v38 test instance switched to cloud mode
(g_is_cloud=1, all cloud-able features active): the feature smtp-settings
is not cloud-able, the SMTP configuration entry disappears from the
Administration tree and the direct URL redirects to the start page.

Keep the facts (preconfigured, sender no-reply@i-doit.cloud) without
telling customers what they cannot do themselves.
