Update documentation to clarify how to set Global Capabilities
The documentation does not clearly state that the Global Capabilities
are set via the access rights of the root project (All-Projects).
Also the section in which the Global Capabilities are documented is
named "System Capabilities" which makes it harder to find by searching.
Change the name of the section, and add a clarification paragraph.
