docs: warn that settings_search.search_dict silently drops iterations_per_quick_update#67

al_configure_search: SettingsSearch.search_dict is a fixed-key property, so assigning iterations_per_quick_update (or anything else) to it is a silent no-op and the value never reaches the search — the config default (often 1e99, never) wins. Document the correct idiom (pass directly to af.Nautilus, as autolens_workspace does) and the conf.instance workaround for pipeline-wide use.
