⁠Project transition and container registry update

The Presidio project is transitioning from a Microsoft-owned project to an independent, community-governed open source project under the Data Privacy Stack GitHub organization. Its new repository is github.com/data-privacy-stack/presidio⁠.

New Presidio Analyzer container releases are published to GitHub Container Registry at ghcr.io/data-privacy-stack/presidio-analyzer⁠. This MCR repository remains available as a legacy location, but mcr.microsoft.com/presidio-analyzer:latest no longer represents the newest Presidio release. For quick tests, use ghcr.io/data-privacy-stack/presidio-analyzer:latest; for production, pin an explicit GHCR release tag.
