docs: scaffold trust/privacy extension repo from SEP-1913 carve

Carve the schema-bearing parts of SEP-1913 into three independent
experimental extensions, per @localden's "narrower first cut" ask and
the Tool Annotations IG's 2026-05-28 extension-first decision:

- io.modelcontextprotocol/trust-annotations (headline): narrow
  data-classification taxonomy (sensitive, untrusted) + open-ended
  evidenceRef pointer.
- io.modelcontextprotocol/action-metadata: carries forward SEP-2061
  (inputMetadata/returnMetadata/outcomes + requiresReview).
- io.modelcontextprotocol/ifc-fides: FIDES information-flow control as
  a profile of evidenceRef, not a wire root.

Adds repo meta (README, MAINTAINERS, CONTRIBUTING, LICENSE) and docs
(sep-disposition, intent-comment, decisions, open-questions,
trust-model, related-work). FIDES demoted to a profile; DataClass and
requiresReview rehomed; maliciousActivityHint and propagation parked on
the SEP-1913 umbrella. Citations index on public sources only.

# Open questions
Tracked here rather than in the spec drafts, so the drafts stay non-temporal.
## Cross-cutting
- **Where does the policy-enforcement engine live** across different user
universes (cross-org, cross-domain)? Engines work well within one universe;
cross-domain is the hard case. (IG 2026-05-28.)
- **Cross-domain integrity verification** — is asymmetric crypto for domain
identity in scope for a future extension, or out of scope entirely? CLI tools
remain a persistent gap for enforcing these constraints.
- **`evidenceRef.type` registry** — who curates the list of well-known profile
types, and how do we coordinate with attestation SEPs (e.g. SEP-2787) so
values don't collide?
## trust-annotations
- Is `sensitive` the right single coarse signal, or do we need the
`data-class.v1` profile from day one?
- Content-block-level vs. result-level attachment — does the draft need a
worked multi-result example before it's implementable?
- `list_changed`: confirmed response-level annotations don't participate; revisit
only if trust vocabulary ever attaches to tool definitions.
## action-metadata
- Coexistence vs. replacement of legacy `destructiveHint` / `readOnlyHint` /
`idempotentHint` / `openWorldHint`.
- Open strings vs. closed enums for `destination` / `source` / `sensitivity`.
- Does `requiresReview` need a machine-readable *reason* for good client UX?
## ifc-fides
- Inline `_meta.ifc` for low-friction adoption vs. always behind `evidenceRef`.
- GitHub Enterprise `internal` repo visibility → public/private/reader-set
mapping (audience is the whole org, broader than collaborators).
## Parked (SEP-1913 umbrella, not carved)
- **`maliciousActivityHint`** — if it returns, it is per-`ContentBlock` with
spans, driven by the host's own detection, not a server-attested boolean.
- **Session-level propagation rules** — escalation semantics and the
sequence-shape gap ("this was call N in a flagged sequence" has no response
annotation surface today).
