Expand FIXME near definition of fboundp

This expansion of the FIXME is so that future developers are aware of
the potential problems of aliasing fboundp to symbol-function without
taking backwards compatibility into account.

* src/data.c (fboundp): Note potential backwards compatibility issues in
FIXME.
