gsubprocesslauncher: Clarify the behavior of set_environ()

Browse Source 
GNOME Builder's code was assuming that setting the launcher's
environ to NULL makes the subprocess have an empty environment, but in
fact the parent process's variables are still inherited because execv is
used instead of execve when envp is NULL. This commit clarifies the
documentation to make the behavior clear.
