docs/bug: ReversalIndexes.SetName writes a field FLEx derives itself #606

Description

@MattGyverLee

ReversalIndexOperations.SetName (~:366-400) writes the reversal index's Name in the default analysis writing system. FieldWorks derives a reversal index's displayed name from its writing system, so a value written here is not what the user sees in FLEx. The call succeeds and appears to do nothing.

Ask: either document SetName as ineffective (with a pointer to how the displayed name is set), or remove or deprecate it.

Checked at 562d5f4.
