docs: update instructions for external libraries (#19080)

Browse Source 
The first step was missing—it's probably obvious for those already
familiar with Immich.

After I added the external library, no photos showed up anywhere and
all interfaces indicated that I had no photos

Eventually I found this "Scan" button, and after clicking it photos
started to appear. This is a necessary step before photos from the
library actually show up anywhere, so point it out explicitly.
