docs: clarify actor data is world-readable

+An actor can write only its own `/data`, but can read every actor's `/data` through `/actor/<id>/data/`. `/data` is not private: any unprotected secret file there is readable by every actor.

 `/actor/<id>/` holds everything about an actor: `actor.wasm`, `actor.json`
 (installed version, running, subscriptions, tapped, watches), `source/`, `public/`, `data/`,
 `stderr.log`, and `versions/<n>/`. `ls /actor` lists all actors.

 Before writing an actor, read `/actor/broker/public/PROTOCOL.md` for messages, the broker, `cargo`, and tests.
 Read the SDK at `/actor/cargo/public/sdk/` before you write an actor.
 You can change your own source at `/actor/agent/source`.
