... since the implementation is in symfile.c.

At the same time, add some documentation and make sure the first
parameter's name in the declaration matches the definition.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* defs.h (generic_load): Move from here...
	* symfile.h (generic_load): ... to here.  Rename name parameter
	to args.
	* symfile.c (generic_load): Add comment.

Thanks, this looks good to me.  I'm generally in favor of shrinking
defs.h and of having the .h reflect the .c.
