Set the 'name' prop in 'define-advice'

In addition to naming the advice function `symbol@name', set
the 'name' property to NAME.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/nadvice.el (define-advice): set the 'name'
property to NAME (requested in Bug#68114).  Fixes Bug#68294.

* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Advising Named Functions): Document
that 'define-advice' installs the advice with the specified name.

(cherry picked from commit 9b8b352ebc09de3259f655fa4d491507109044b3)
