Bugfix external find --all for libraries (#31186)
* Fixed a bug in the 'external find --all' command where the call failed to find packages by both executable and library. The bug was that the call `path.all_packages()` incorrectly turned the variable `packages_to_check` into a generator rather than keeping it a list. Thus the second call to `detection.by_library` had no work to do. * Fixed the help message for the find external and compiler commands as well as others that used the `scopes_metavar` field to define where the results should be stored in configuration space. Specifically, the fact that configuration could be added to the environment was not mentioned in the help message.
