Clarify that SCIM group membership provisions users into secondary accounts

[ably-sync-bot]

Summary

The current docs only mention that new SCIM users are provisioned into the default account with a Developer role. They don't explain that linking a SCIM group to a secondary account also provisions user accounts for group members in that account.

The Group Roles section only talks about role inheritance, which implies the user already exists in the account — but the group-account linking is what actually creates the user in that account.

Changes

• Added a paragraph to the "Provision users via SCIM" section explaining that users can be provisioned into additional accounts through SCIM group membership
• Updated the "Group roles" section to clarify that linking a group to an account provisions all group members into that account, not just assigns roles

Context

This came up during a support investigation. The docs gap made it harder to diagnose because it wasn't clear whether group membership was supposed to provision users into secondary accounts or just assign roles.
