raco pkg: change --scope-dir search-path handling

Formerly, `--scope-dir` would include only the specified directory in
the search path for already installed packages, etc., which means that
it would only work right as a kind of installation scope that is a
step beyond "installation" on the "user"-to-"installation" spectrum.
The `'pkgs-search-dirs` confiugration entry, meanwhile, provides more
control over search ordering in installation scope. Make `--scope-dir`
work more consistently with that search-path configration.

This change also makes "instllation"-scope operations use the search
path more consistently, since some actions used to use the whole
search list while others pruned any prefix before the main
installation directory in the search list.

 A directory path can be used as a @tech{package scope}, in which case
 package operations affect the set of packages installations in the
-directory. An installation can be configured to include the
+directory. An installation can be configured to include the directory
-directory in its search path for installed packages (see

+scope}, operations such as dependency checking will use all paths in
+the configured search path starting with the one that is designed as a
+@tech{package scope}; if the designated path is not in the configured
+search path, then the dierctory by itself is used as the search path.
 
 Conflict checking disallows installation of the same or conflicting
 package in different scopes, but if such a configuration is forced,
