Subject: [PATCH] Update README with the `*` ft option for the fixers object

It wasn't immediately obvious that the `g:ale_fixers` cannot be a list,
and would allow the use of `*` to match all filetypes. I was hoping to
add a bit more detail to the README to make this clearer.

+A `*` in place of the filetype will apply the corresponding list of fixers to
+all filetypes. Note that using a plain list for `g:ale_fixers` is not supported.
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_fixers = {
+\   '*': ['remove_trailing_lines', 'trim_whitespace'],
+\}

 If you want to automatically fix files when you save them, you need to turn
 a setting on in vimrc.
