gdb: Extend the comments in c-exp.y

Browse Source 
In an attempt to fix PR gdb/13368 this commit adds some comments to
c-exp.y which hopefully makes the type parsing code a little clearer.
There are no code changes here, so there should be no user visible
changes after this commit.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/13368
	* c-exp.y (typebase): Extend the comment.
	(ident_tokens): Likewise.

/* Implements (approximately): (type-qualifier)* type-specifier.
When type-specifier is only ever a single word, like 'float' then these
arrive as pre-built TYPENAME tokens thanks to the classify_name
function. However, when a type-specifier can contain multiple words,
for example 'double' can appear as just 'double' or 'long double', and
similarly 'long' can appear as just 'long' or in 'long double', then
these type-specifiers are parsed into their own tokens in the function
lex_one_token and the ident_tokens array. These separate tokens are all
recognised here. */
