[docs] Add a more detailed description in CXString.h. (#119090)
Emmm... Maybe I'm splitting hairs. But I really think the paragraph
should be more detailed. The orginal document makes me confused. Do I
take the ownership of the string data?
Here I don't refer the `clang_disposeString` function, because here's a
`clang_disposeStringSet`.
