Don't display wrong ElDoc information when inside ELisp strings or comments

* lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el (elisp--fnsym-in-current-sexp): Since
forward-sexp assumes point is not in a string or comment, avoid
calling it and then checking if point is inside a string, since that
sometimes will fail with awkward results.  (Bug#35567)
