perldiag: Document ‘Bad symbol for scalar’

Originally this was a separate message in gv.c, with an exception
listed in diag.t

d5713896ec merged several functions together, changing the exception
to ‘Bad symbol for %s’.

bb85b28a added diag_listed_as in the wrong place.

de6f7947 moved it to the right place, removing the diag.t entry.

But all this time ‘Bad symbol for scalar’ remained undocumented.
