Description

We may want to wait until we resolve https://github.com/luckyframework/lucky_cli/issues/561

However, the approach can be taken prior to that file being included in scaffolded apps.

Basically, we should outline that while you can throw things into an app-level "Junk drawer", there are often better places to put specific settings as you grow more familiar with Lucky. See conversations on that issue above ^ for some examples.

This should likely go in the Config documentation:
https://luckyframework.org/guides/getting-started/configuration

Research direction

Start with the Configuration guide at https://luckyframework.org/guides/getting-started/configuration and review the discussion in luckyframework/lucky_cli#561. Document when app-level settings belong in the "Junk drawer" and when more specific locations are preferable. Done means the configuration documentation explains these options clearly, while accounting for the scaffolded-app timing noted in the issue.
