Corrected terminology from 'SP and IDP' to 'SP or IDP' initiated SSO and updated various instructions for clarity and consistency. Included the correct URLs for all the new Mimecast regions (i.e. USB, Germany, Canada etc) and clarified that it is either SP or IDP not both at the same time.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Mimecast Personal Portal SAML SSO tutorial to clarify SP-initiated vs IdP-initiated flows and to expand the region-specific URLs used in configuration.
Changes:
- Updated wording around SP-initiated vs IdP-initiated SSO and added separate configuration guidance for each mode.
- Added additional Mimecast region endpoints (for example, Germany, USB, Canada, and USPCOM) to the Identifier/Reply URL/Sign-on URL tables.
- Expanded Mimecast-side configuration steps (authentication profile/settings) and tightened wording in the “Test SSO” section.
