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The comment above the add_psymbol_to_list function seems outdated and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.
