Re: Fix for lisp/files.el - doc string for file-truename

As you can see in the comment just below the docstring:

    ;; COUNTER and PREV-DIRS are only used in recursive calls.
    ;; COUNTER can be a cons cell whose car is the count of how many
    ;; more links to chase before getting an error.

I.e. `counter' and `prev-dirs' should normally not be used, which is why
someone went to the trouble to put an explicit (fn FILENAME) to hide those
internal-use-only arguments.
