Adding "all" to group_vars examples in ansible documentation

If I may, in the doc about group_vars (1) the "all" option to have vars for all hosts is not referenced, I understand from the non-newbie perspective this is quite implicit, from the newbie perspective though it didn't strike me and it's only when looking at the LAMP simple playbook (2) that I got the "all" file trick.
Thus I'm thinking a couple lines about the group_vars/all file option in the "Splitting Out Host and Group Specific Data" could be useful.

My 2cts.

It is mentioned a bit in the variable precedence sections, but I
agree, that's not obvious enough and should call it out in a few more
places as a place to put in defaults.

We're starting a technical FAQ and will make sure we also highlight it
there too.
