Document distribution discovery in importlib.metadata docs

Document the following items listed in `__all__` but missing from
documentation:

- `distributions()`: mentioned in doc strings as well
- `DistributionFinder`: mentioned but didn't have it's own :class:
  entry
- `DistributionFinder.Context`: mentioned but didn't have it's own :class:
  entry)
- `Distribution.discover()`: mentioned in doc strings

+       A :class:`!Context` gives a custom provider a means to
