Mention String#replaceAll as well as String#replace under Symbol.replace article

Description

Mention String#replaceAll as well as String#replace under Symbol.replace article.

Motivation

String#replaceAll also looks up Symbol.replace:

class Replacer {
    [Symbol.replace](str) {
        return `hello, ${str}`
    }
}

console.log('world'.replace(new Replacer()))
// hello, world
console.log('world'.replaceAll(new Replacer()))
// hello, world

Additional details

ES Spec:

c. Let replacer be ? GetMethod(searchValue, @@replace).

MDN's RegExp.prototype[@@replace]() article already mentions this, but not the Symbol.replace one.
