Update documentation of the three file-finding functions in the API (FindFile, FindInstalledFiles, FindSourceFiles) as well as FindPathDirs.

Also add a test for FindFile to be sure it locates non-existing derived files as advertised.

Contributor Checklist:

  • I have created a new test or updated the unit tests to cover the new/changed functionality.
  • I have updated CHANGES.txt and RELEASE.txt (and read the README.rst).
  • I have updated the appropriate documentation
