encoding/asn1: clarify use of SET suffix

This change clarifies the usage of the SET type name suffix. Previously
the documentation was somewhat confusing about where the suffix should
be used, and when used what it applied to. For instance the previous
language could be interpreted such that []exampleSET would be parsed as
a SEQUENCE OF SET, which is incorrect as the SET suffix only applies to
slice types, such as type exampleSET []struct{} which is parsed as a
SET OF SEQUENCE.
