docs: add instructions for enabling highlighting for all filetypes

Browse source 
This adds documentation on how to enable treesitter highlighting
for all filetypes that have a parser available, using pcall to
safely handle cases where no parser is installed.

This pattern is already used in the plugin's minimal_init.lua
and is a common use case for users who want to enable highlighting
globally rather than per-filetype.

To enable highlighting for **all filetypes** that have a parser available, use `pcall` to safely start treesitter without specifying patterns:
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
callback = function()
pcall(vim.treesitter.start)
end,
})
```
This will automatically enable highlighting for any filetype with an installed parser, while gracefully skipping filetypes without available parsers.
## Folds
Treesitter-based folding is provided by Neovim. To enable it, put the following in your `ftplugin` or `FileType` autocommand:
