bug#29551: 24.5; doc string of `bookmark-alist'

A bookmark is more than a name.

The first line of the doc string says this:

  Association list of bookmarks and their records.

That's wrong, or at best misleading.  Each entry in the alist is a
_bookmark_.  That is, each entry is a bookmark "record", whose car
is the bookmark name, and whose cdr is the associated bookmark data.

The doc should say something like this:

"Association list of bookmark names and bookmark data."
or
"Association list of bookmark records." (and then say what a record is)
