Library search breaks early when using a PlexAPI operator #694

Description

@JonnyWong16

Describe the issue
The current library search loop breaks when no results are found.

https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi/blob/4.4.1/plexapi/library.py#L691

If a PlexAPI operator is used (e.g. viewCount__gt=0), the first batch of results may return 0 results (i.e. There are no items with a view count greater than 1 in the first 100 items (container_size)). This causes the loop to break without continuing the search through the rest of the items.

Code snipppets

>>> library = plex.library.section("TV Shows")
>>> results = library.search(libtype='episode', container_size=1, viewCount__gte=0)
>>> print(len(results))
0

Expected behavior
Search should continue looping through the rest of the items.

Proposed solution is to add a check if the container exceeds the total number of items to exit the loop.

https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi/blob/4.4.1/plexapi/library.py#L707

if container_start > self.totalSize:
    break
