Update docs for `folder` option to include filtering individual request

See original GitHub issue

Newman Version (can be found via newman -v): 4.5.7
OS details (type, version, and architecture): MacOS 10.13.4
Are you using Newman as a library, or via the CLI?: Library
Did you encounter this recently, or has this bug always been there: N/A
Expected behaviour: Newman’s folder option is for filtering requests by folders/subfolders according to docs. But it can also be used to filter individual requests (just like it is possible in Runner). Either this is a bug or please update the docs to reflect the same.
Sample collection, and auxiliary files (minus the sensitive details):

Screenshots (if applicable):

As can be seen in the screenshot, filtering a single request is possible in the Collection Runner. The same is possible through the folder option but is not mentioned in the docs. Screen Shot 2019-12-17 at 11 01 27 AM
