File Integrity error after 3.8.0 update

The System Check reports that Files were found in your Matomo but we didn’t expect them. misc/internal-docs/content-tracking.md

See attached screenshot

Deleting the file, allows the System Check to pass without errors.

I have read many questions recently by people asking why there is suddenly a `.l…fsconfig` file in their Matomo directory that should be deleted according to integrity checker. Of course most people don't notice that the file has been a part of Matomo for a while and then has been deleted in the latest release (https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-package/pull/86) which causes it to be useless after the update and therefore flagged by integrity checker. I think we should add an explanation text to the integrity checker that lists reasons why the file may appear there and why this isn't a bug.
