[JDK-8293980](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8293980) added `ResolvedFieldEntry::copy_from()` to prevent random bits in the CDS archive. However, I forgot to add a comment to explain why this is necessary.

This PR adds the missing comment, which will be useful if we consider alternative solutions (using `memset()` in constructor??) in the future.
