eww: Use browse-url-with-browser-kind in eww-browse-with-external-browser

Guarantee that an external browser is used by EWW if
`browse-url-secondary-browser-function' is set to
`eww-browse-url'.
* lisp/net/eww.el (eww-browse-with-external-browser): Use
`browse-url-secondary-browser-function' only if it is an
external browser, otherwise fall back to
`browse-url-with-browser-kind'.
(eww-follow-link): Use `eww-browse-with-external-browser' if the
EXTERNAL prefix argument is non-nil.  Improve docstring.
* lisp/net/browse-url.el (browse-url-secondary-browser-function):
Update docstring.  (Bug#74730)

"Function used to launch an alternative browser.
This is usually an external browser (that is, not eww or w3m),
used as the secondary browser choice, typically when a prefix
argument is given to a URL-opening command in those modes that
support this (for instance, eww/shr).
This browser is used as the secondary browser choice, typically
when a prefix argument is given to a URL-opening command in those
modes that support this (for instance `browse-url-at-point',
`goto-addr-at-point', eww or shr).
This assumption is that `browse-url-secondary-browser-function'
and `browse-url-browser-function' are set to distinct browsers.
Either one of the two functions should call an external browser
and the other one should not do the same.
