New description:

 During working on GHC, I found these outdated comments and function names.

 The `ForPlugins` renaming in [[GhcFile(compiler/main/DynamicLoading.hs)]]
 is motivated by the fact that change [57d67983] crippled the function in a
 way that now it can only be used while handling Plugins.  Therefore the
 name should warn the programmer to this fact.

 The hptInstances comment has also been outdated, when someone needed to
 add the `ModuleName -> Bool` predicate to use this same function for
 handling ghc and ghci with shared code.

 The attached patch is trivial renames/comments.
