[PATCH] D48211: [clangd] Do not show namespace comments.

Comments from namespaces that clangd produces are too noisy and often
not useful.

Namespaces have too many redecls and we don't have a good way of
determining which of the comments are relevant and which should be
ignored (e.g. because they come from code generators like the protobuf
compiler).
