[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v15 05/11] module_cache: add comment about weird resolving

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

The module management is not obvious when reading
the code, mostly because of weird design in first
place which we can't change without breaking
backward compatibility.

Add a note about this into code itself otherwise
it is hard to understand why it works the way it
does.

Part-of #4642
