Explicitely say in README that this project is only about screensharing

I had to read #42 (comment) and

Interfaces=org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Screenshot;org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenCast;
to understand that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is apparently only supporting screenshare, after trying to debug WerWolv/ImHex#723

I think it could really help to tell people directly in the README that this project only implements the screenshare functionality of xdg-desktop-portal, because the project's name seems to imply that you implement everything (at least from a newcomer's perspective, that's the feeling I got)

Thanks ^^

EDIT : I wanted to make clear that I understand this is my mistake, I am simply proposing this to avoid other people making this mistake as well

This is actually the first point answered in the FAQ, which is linked on the README ^^

I created #286 to better explain what exactly does xdg-desktop-portal-wlr and how to configure it with recent changes to xdg-desktop-portal following a chat with the xdg-desktop-portal authors over Matrix when trying to debug app issues.

See related issue in xdg-desktop-portal flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#1172 but their future reworked documentation will probably better explain how it all works.
