Update comments re type parameter hack in object safety

To check if a method's receiver type is object safe, we create a new receiver type by substituting in a bogus type parameter (let's call it `U`) for `Self`, and checking that the unmodified receiver type implements `DispatchFromDyn<receiver type with Self = U>`. It would be better to use `dyn Trait` directly, and the only reason we don't is because it triggers another check that `Trait` is object safe, resulting in a query cycle. Once the feature `object_safe_for_dispatch` (tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43561) is stabilized, this will no longer be the case, and we'll be able to use `dyn Trait` as the unsized `Self` type. I've updated the comments in object_safety.rs accordingly.
