This pull request primarily improves the documentation for Presidio by adding an important security warning regarding authentication and authorization for API endpoints, and by making minor formatting adjustments in the README.md.

Documentation Updates:

  • Added a prominent warning in docs/faq.md clarifying that Presidio API endpoints do not include built-in authentication, and strongly recommending users to implement authentication and authorization at the infrastructure layer to avoid exposing services to untrusted networks.
