This improves the help documentation for the gh search issues command by clarifying the use of the -- delimiter when search queries contain terms that resemble CLI flags (e.g., -label:bug).

Fixes #10480

Hey @EduardoNovato 👋 Thank you for opening this PR to improve gh's documentation ✨

There's already an existing PR opened for this at #11162, so I'm going to close this out and defer to that existing PR. There's also some nuance here as it seems regarding the behavior in Windows that we'll have to work through on that PR if you're interested in reading further about it! ❤️ 🍻
