gdesktopappinfo: Note that search results are not filtered

Browse Source 
Mention in the documentation that (presumably for performance reasons)
the search results from `g_desktop_app_info_search()` are not filtered
by executable presence or hidden attribute.

Perhaps they should be in future, but for now we should at least
document it.

* The algorithm for determining matches is undefined and may change at
* any time.
*
* None of the search results are subjected to the normal validation
* checks performed by g_desktop_app_info_new() (for example, checking that
* the executable referenced by a result exists), and so it is possible for
* g_desktop_app_info_new() to return %NULL when passed an app ID returned by
* this function. It is expected that calling code will do this when
* subsequently creating a #GDesktopAppInfo for each result.
*
* Returns: (array zero-terminated=1) (element-type GStrv) (transfer full): a
* list of strvs. Free each item with g_strfreev() and free the outer
* list with g_free().
