api: Note that drive "name" field is no longer used

Browse Source 
Before commit 3a00c4d179 ("Remove inspection from the C library and
switch to daemon/OCaml implementation") in 2017 the name parameter
passed to add_drive was used by inspection to override the device name
that is determined from fstab.  None of our tools ever actually used
this parameter, and when the inspection code was moved inside the
daemon we stopped using this hint field at all.

So it's no longer used, and likely hasn't been used ever.  Therefore
document that the field does nothing.
