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The comment above the add_psymbol_to_list function seems outdated and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.
