cmd/compile: clarify the difference between types.Sym and obj.LSym

Both types.Sym and obj.LSym have the field Name, and that field is
widely used in compiler source. It can lead to confusion that when to
use which one.

So, adding documentation for clarifying the difference between them,
eliminate the confusion, or at least, make the code which use them
clearer for the reader.
