Add note on defaults block option

When I was looking for how to default the entire routes file to JSON I could only find the postfix option. It was mentioned on IRC that you could do this with a block as well and I had not found it in the documentation.

 Rails would match `photos/12` to the `show` action of `PhotosController`, and set `params[:format]` to `"jpg"`.
 
+You can also use `defaults` in a block format to define the defaults for multiple items:
+
+```ruby
+defaults format: :json do
+  resources :photos
+end
+```

 NOTE: You cannot override defaults via query parameters - this is for security reasons. The only defaults that can be overridden are dynamic segments via substitution in the URL path.
