Brad King 492ade276b Help: Add explicit <PackageName>_ROOT variable documentation
Add documentation for both the CMake variable and environment variable
of this name pattern.  Update references to these names to link to their
documents.  Clarify the pattern used to construct their names.

<PackageName>_ROOT
------------------
Calls to :command:`find_package(<PackageName>)` will search in prefixes
specified by the ``<PackageName>_ROOT`` environment variable, where
``<PackageName>`` is the name given to the ``find_package`` call
and ``_ROOT`` is literal. For example, ``find_package(Foo)`` will search
prefixes specified in the ``Foo_ROOT`` environment variable (if set).
See policy :policy:`CMP0074`.
This variable may hold a single prefix or a list of prefixes separated
by ``:`` on UNIX or ``;`` on Windows (the same as the ``PATH`` environment
variable convention on those platforms).
See also the :variable:`<PackageName>_ROOT` CMake variable.
