added note about name variable (#11970)

* added note about name variable

I though that name is just for frontend and spent some time finding out where my sensor had gone when I had changed its name.
Hope it will save others' time.
Actually, I don't think this component's approach is great - would be much more intuitive to have name as a key of a dictionary (as with template sensors, for example) and a friendly_name for UI.
Unfortunately, there are many of similar components - perhaps they are older than current template sensor's implementation?
