Craig Scott 5cb0a730c9 Help: Clarify behavior of search ignore-related variables
Not all the behaviors of CMake variables for ignoring search
locations by find_...() commands were fully documented.
Add the missing effects, clarify the wording and restructure the
way the details are assembled to reduce duplication.

Also improve the cross-referencing to ensure all the related
variables are more discoverable.

Ignoring search locations can be useful in cross-compiling environments where
some system directories contain incompatible but possibly linkable libraries.
For example, on cross-compiled cluster environments, this allows a user to
ignore directories containing libraries meant for the front-end machine.
