docs: Add map regexp capture groups (#145)

Browse source 
https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/3991

The `outputs` bit was getting a bit long so I split it up into multiple paragraphs.

The capture group explanation is copied from the `path_regexp` matcher docs.

Added bullets in front of the example cases, because the newlines get collapsed in markdown otherwise, unless we either add bullets or double newlines. I think bullets work better here.

The first output is written to the first destination, the second output to the second destination, etc. As a special case, the Caddyfile parser treats outputs that are a literal hyphen (`-`) as null/nil values. This is useful if you want to fall back to a default value for that particular output in the case of the given input, but want to use non-default values for other outputs. The number of outputs for each mapping must not exceed the number of destinations; however, for convenience, there may be fewer outputs than destinations, and any missing outputs will be filled in implicitly. - **&lt;input&gt;** is the input value to match.

If a regular expression was used as the input, then the capture groups can be referenced with `${capture_group}` where `capture_group` is either the name or number of the capture group in the expression. Capture group `0` is the full regexp match, `1` is the first capture group, `2` is the second capture group, and so on.
