find_library: improve the docs and FeatureNew to fully describe the change
The docs didn't really explain what the issue was with using it. And it's not actually a "crash" either way. The FeatureNew mentions that "name" is new, but it is standard for these warnings to tell you both the type of object you're operating on and the name of the method that is an issue. This omitted the former, and was very confusing.

## dependencies created by compiler.find_library implement the `name()` method
-Which would previously result in Meson crashing.
+Previously, for a [[dep]] that might be returned by either [[dependency]] or
+[[compiler.find_library]], the method might or might not exist with no way
