@claude Let's update the Mattermost Product Documentation to reflect the admin's user authentication product experience from Mattermost server v11 onward captured via mattermost/mattermost#31181

Starting from the master branch, ensure the docs PR is added to the v11.0-documentation branch. The doc updates focuses on new mmctl user edit command and child commands to address the need for editing user authentication data without direct database access. The command provides a structured way to modify user properties including username, email, and authentication data (authdata).

The new command and child commands address a common customer pain point where SAML-authenticated users need to change their email addresses when the SAML configuration uses email as the ID attribute.
 Previously, this required direct database manipulation, which posed security and operational risks.
New mmctl docs include:
- mmctl_user_edit
- mmctl_user_edit_authdata
- mmctl_user_edit_email
- mmclt_user_edit_username
