cmd/compile: clarify help message for -L flag

The file names reported in error messages by the compiler are
printed unchanged from the file names provided to the compiler;
the -L flag has no impact on the file names themselves, contrary
to what the old flag description suggested.

If an error is reported on a line that is affected by a //line
directive, an error message reports the file name and line as
controlled by the directive (i.e., the actual source position
is not known).

If the -L flag is provided, the actual source position is also
reported in square brackets.

This change documents this with an updated help string for the
flag.

For #36988.
