Update symmetric docstring to reflect the type of uplo (#55504)

This brings the docstring closer to the actual implementation. In
particular, following the current docstring and defining
```julia
symmetric(::MyMatrix, uplo=:U)
```
leads to a method ambiguity, as `LinearAlgebra` defines
`symmetric(::AbstractMatrix, uplo::Symbol=:U)`.
