Explain which menu bar items can be hidden
Hiding other apps' icons worked, but Apple pins Spotlight, Clock, Battery
and Control Center to the right of the menu bar, so a third-party item can
never be placed after them to push them away. Document the real limit so
the behaviour is not mistaken for a bug.
