sim: bfin: note missing parallel handling of SEARCH
The SEARCH insn is an oddball when it comes to parallel usage. It places a big limit on what other insns it can run in parallel with, but we don't currently track the amount of state needed to verify this (since no other insn really requires this). Add a note for now in case we get around to it.
