cmd/compile,runtime: update instrumentation comments
The compiler's instrumentation pass has some out-of-date comments about the write barrier and some confusing comments about typedslicecopy. Update these comments and add a comment to typedslicecopy explaining why it's manually instrumented while none of the other operations are.
