Rollup merge of #84365 - vext01:improve-lto-docstrings, r=petrochenkov

Improve the docstrings of the `Lto` struct.

This change is the result of [this zulip discussion](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/182449-t-compiler.2Fhelp/topic/Making.20sense.20of.20LTO.20modes.20in.20rustc).

Hopefully it makes things a little clearer. What do you think?
