notmuch_thread_get_authors: document match grouping with |

as stated in thread.cc:115

/* Construct an authors string from matched_authors_array and
 * authors_array. The string contains matched authors first, then
 * non-matched authors (with the two groups separated by '|'). Within
 * each group, authors are listed in date order. */

this is, however, not reflected in the public API documentation in
notmuch.h:970. This patch a paragraph explaining how | separates the
group of authors of messages matching the query and those of messages
that do not, but are still contained in the thread.
