Using backticks on the words "override", "global", "root", "locally" makes it look like they are code keywords. I went ahead and also reworded it a bit, as overriding is not only for global fixtures, and not necessarily "locally".
It's good to use consistent terminology, especially in the docs. "Directory" is more popular and more ingrained (e.g. in pathlib, `Dir`/`Directory` nodes, etc.). so let's go with that.

A few small tweaks:
The first commit updates a now updated note about
usefixtures-on-fixtures deprecation.The second commit improves on a bit of confusion.
The third commit drops use of the term "folder" for consistency.
