Microsoft Teams: First run experience and prompting users to release previous reservations

Users will be notified of multiple desk reservations and prompted to release previous ones when using bookable desks. A first run experience will explain these notifications. Rollout starts mid-July 2025 and completes by mid-August 2025. No admin action is required, but communication to users is recommended.
