[analyzer][docs][NFC] Document the ento namespace in the llvm/Lexicon

Document the `ento` namespace in the Lexicon according to @nicolas17 on the
mailing list (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2020-August/066577.html).

The analyzer lived at different namespaces at different times.
Originally lived at the `GR` aka. (Graph Reachability)  namespace [7], later it
moved under the `ento` namespace [9].

The Static Analyzer's code lived at many other places as well:
`Analysis` -[2]-> `Checker` -[5]-> `GR` -[10]> `entoSA` -[11]-> `StaticAnalyzer`

**ento**
This namespace houses the
`Clang Static Analyzer <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangStaticAnalyzer.html>`_.
It is an abbreviaton of `entomology <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomology>`_.
*"Entomology is the scientific study of insects."*
In the past, this namespace had not only the name `GR` (aka. Graph Reachability)
but also `entoSA`.
