It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the capture documentation (either the
manual or org-capture-templates's docstring).  I think I knew about
org-directory from looking into something with
org-read-agenda-file-list, which is another place it is used.  Until
recently, org-directory's docstring was stale for a long time and nobody
noticed, so I'm guessing few people use the variable.

I've updated org-capture-templates and the capturing section of the
manual to mention org-directory.
