express 5 router wildcard does not work as documented

Hi,

The following does not work as written in the documentation: https://expressjs.com/en/5x/api.html

app.all('*', requireAuthentication, loadUser)

This is because you are at a newer version of path-to-regexp

https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp#compatibility-with-express--4x

so please update the documentation because this works

app.all('(.*)', requireAuthentication, loadUser)

I think that also the migration doc should reflect this change.

Thanks
