Clarify group assignment using quick actions

Summary

Although 'assignment of group members in quick actions' has been implemented in !90843 (merged), the behaviour of passing a group has not been documented: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/quick_actions.html (only users are mentioned).

Steps to reproduce

See 'Summary'.

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?

When using /assign followed by a group in issues, I would expect all members in that group to become assignees.

When using /assign followed by a group in PRs, I would expect a random user in that group to become the assignee (as PRs don't support multiple assignees).

When using /assign_reviewer followed by a group in PRs, I would expect all members in that group to become reviewers.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I'm not sure what behaviour I am seeing. I am a member of all groups. When I perform any of the actions above, the resource is assigned to me and only me. The same happens when another user does this (I am assigned). I'm not sure why I would be a special case (first in the group, maybe?).
