item search: clarify antimeridian handling of bbox #473

Description

@soxofaan

The readme of item-search (https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec/blob/release/v1.0.0/item-search/README.md) does mention bbox as core query parameter, but just describes it as "bounding box". It does not mention how antimeridian cases should be handled.

The openapi.yaml file however does have some clarification:

For WGS 84 longitude/latitude the values are in most cases the sequence
of minimum longitude, minimum latitude, maximum longitude and maximum
latitude. However, in cases where the box spans the antimeridian the
first value (west-most box edge) is larger than the third value
(east-most box edge).

I think it's useful to mention that detail in the readme too
