docs/DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENTS: clarify name aliases

Browse Source 
Add a note to the service-file naming scheme that reminds developers
that those names might be aliases. Hence, when parsing such unit names,
the entire name-array of a unit must be parsed, rather than just the
unit ID.

The service-name of existing applications might be already part of their
API. Hence, not all applications can switch the service ID to this new
naming scheme, but can provide suitable aliases. Document this behavior.

Note that this nameing scheme might be a unit alias, so runtime detection
must check the entire name-array of a unit, rather than just its unit ID.
TODO: Define the name of slices that should be used.
This could be `app-<launcher>-<ApplicationID>-<RANDOM>.slice`.
