Update documentation for env.Append family [ci skip]
Try to be more descriptive of what happens in some special cases. CPPDEFINES, LIBS, and the *PATH variables are mentioned. Don't duplicate descriptions - AppendUnique, Prepend, PrependUnique all point back to Append for the body of the description - the idea is to avoid divergence. The same should happen for the implementation, but that's a different PR. Reformat examples with Black to continue getting example style self-consistent within the docs (lots to go here!)
