Clarify pip freeze --all documentation at pip.pypa.io #13557

Description

@AnthonyHedo

Since pip 23.2, pip freeze -h documents --all as:

Do not skip these packages in the output: pip

But, pip.pypa.io states:

Do not skip these packages in the output: pip, setuptools, wheel, distribute.

On Python 3.12+ (according to _internal/commands/freeze.py's _should_suppress_build_backends() in _dev_pkgs()), only pip is skipped when not using --all.

Should this be noted?
