Clarify the different keywords for `users` #20

Closed nickrobinson251 closed 3 years ago

Document that pkg_registry_name is only used for looking up the package UUID, and it is registries which determines where we search for user packages.

When i used this package like user("PackageInGeneralRegistry") is was pleasantly surprised to see it return a list containing a package in a private registry, because i misunderstood what the pkg_registry_name="General" keyword was doing (thinking it was also doing the job of registries). I think partly because the users(::String) method didn't document registries. So this PR tries to improve the docs to distinguish the two.
