feat: add +all option to exact? and apply? (#11556)

This PR adds a `+all` option to `exact?` and `apply?` that collects all
successful lemmas instead of stopping at the first complete solution.

When `+all` is enabled:
- `exact?` shows all lemmas that completely solve the goal (admits the
goal with `sorry`)
- `apply?` shows all lemmas including both complete and partial
solutions

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> Adds a +all flag to exact? and apply? to collect all successful
lemmas, updates library search to support aggregation and proper
star-lemma fallback, and extends the discriminator tree to
extract/append dropped entries; includes tests.
> 
> - **Tactics / UI**:
> - Add `LibrarySearchConfig.all` and `+all` flag to `exact?`/`apply?`
to collect all successful lemmas.
> - `exact?` now aggregates complete solutions (via
`addExactSuggestions`); `apply?` shows both complete and partial
suggestions.
>   - Updated help texts and error/hint messages.
> - **Library Search Core (`Lean.Meta.Tactic.LibrarySearch`)**:
> - Thread new `collectAll` option through `tryOnEach`,
`librarySearch'`, and `librarySearch`.
> - `tryOnEach` continues collecting complete solutions when `collectAll
= true`.
> - Star-lemma fallback now runs even when primary search yields only
partial results; include complete solutions when aggregating.
> - Cache and retrieve star-indexed lemmas via
`droppedEntriesRef`/`getStarLemmas`.
> - **Lazy Discriminator Tree (`Lean.Meta.LazyDiscrTree`)**:
> - Add `extractKey(s)`/`collectSubtreeAux` to extract and drop entries,
returning them.
> - Modify import/module tree building to optionally append dropped
entries to a shared ref (for star-lemmas), and pass this through
`findMatches`/`createModuleTreeRef`.
> - Minor comment/logic tweaks (append vs set) when handling dropped
entries.
> - **Elaboration (`Lean.Elab.Tactic.LibrarySearch`)**:
> - Integrate `collectAll` into `exact?`/`apply?`; partition and present
complete vs incomplete suggestions; admit goals appropriately when
aggregating.
> - **Tests**:
> - Update existing expectations and add
`tests/lean/run/library_search_all.lean` to verify `+all`, aggregation,
and star-lemma behavior.
