…bid ref

Review fixes on top of the OWID endpoint auth docs, verified against the
cloud implementation on origin/main.

pmp.md: remove the @ref to DeviceDetection_OtherIntegrations_Prebid. That
page is a redirect stub; cbceeaf had already replaced it with
Integrations_Prebid, and the ref came back through a merge. The remaining
entry points at the real page.

fodid.md: the intro and Terminology still described the payload value as
always probabilistic and always a 32-byte hash, which contradicted the
Random type (16-byte GUID) introduced on this branch. Generalise them and
scope the three-input derivation to the probabilistic type.

Other corrections against the code:
- the salt is 2 bytes, URL-safe base64, and is hashed as the decoded
  bytes rather than the base64 text. Nothing ties it to SWAN or a 4x4
  grid, so drop that attribution.
- idrandglobal and idrandlic get independent GUIDs within one response.
- bits 6-7 table header, and 11 is unused rather than reserved: no code
  reserves it.
- document the format parameter, which accepts spki only.

overview.md: note that a header-supplied credential makes the response
Cache-Control: no-store.
