[issue24724] Element.findall documentation misleading

Martin Panter added the comment:

How about something like:

'''
:meth:`Element.findall` finds all elements matching a path expression; in this example, all <country> children of *root*. meth:`Element.find` finds the *first* matching element, in this example the first <rank> child. . . .
'''

Also, perhaps it would be good to change findall() to iterfind(), which is a newer API.
