[PATCH 2/3] docs: Clarify meaning of 'list' and 'cond' for 'if' and 'while' commands respectively

[Glenn Washburn]

It is not clear from the documentation what a 'list' is in the context of
the 'if' command. Note that its a list of simple commands separated by a
';' and that only the exist status of the last command matters. The same is
true for the 'cond' parameter to the 'while' command.
