The command `eww-browse-with-external-browser' uses
`browse-url-secondary-browser-function'. This makes the command
ineffective in the common setup where
`browse-url-secondary-browser-function' is set to `eww-browse-url' and
`browse-url-browser-function' is set to an external browser.

Fortunately we can use `browse-url-with-browser-kind' instead, which
guarantees that an external browser is launched.

Furthermore `eww-follow-link' should use `browse-url-with-browser-kind'
if the EXTERNAL prefix argument is non-nil.

I've looked at all other uses of `browse-url-browser-function' and
`browse-url-secondary-browser-function' in the Emacs code base and I
have not found other problems. Most commands use a prefix argument to
switch to the secondary browser, relying on the primary browser by
default. The problem is limited to `eww-browse-with-external-browser'
and `eww-follow-link'.

In GNU Emacs 30.0.92 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo
 version 1.18.2, Xaw scroll bars) of 2024-11-20
