devel-docs: update the icons doc with some of Mitch explanations.
This explains a little better why some systems (i.e. GNOME…) would show
no icons in menus whereas other (i.e. Linux Mint, Windows…) would show
them. GIMP_ICONS_LIKE_A_BOSS environment variable is a developer trick
to show icons in menus anyway to see how things render on such systems.

Testing icons
-------------
-Icons in menus are not always shown. In particular some desktop environments
-would not show them by default, for instance GNOME. You can force them to
-show up by setting the environment variable `GIMP_ICONS_LIKE_A_BOSS`.
+Menu items and buttons are not supposed to have icons any longer. Yet
+our actions have icons and some desktop environments would enable them
+in menus and buttons regardless. To test how we do on systems which do
+so, set the environment variable `GIMP_ICONS_LIKE_A_BOSS`.
