gdb: re-write add_psymbol_to_list doc, move it to header file
The comment above the add_psymbol_to_list function seems outdated and misleading, here's an attempt at improving it. gdb/ChangeLog: * psymtab.c (add_psymbol_to_list): Move comment to psympriv.h. * psympriv.h (add_psymbol_to_list): Move comment here and update it.
