[dmd-internals] Correction to name mangling doc

[Don Clugston]

I'm not sure. See bug 3034 "Template instance name wrongly mangled as
LName". I don't know if that bug report is valid -- is it legal to
have a module name which starts with double underscores??? It does
seem to be accepted, though.

We need to either change the spec and mark the bug as invalid, or else
change the compiler and leave the spec as-is.
Another related mangling bug is 3043 "Template symbol arg cannot be
demangled", which I think is probably invalid.
