sh: Improve function documentation
* Mention that the function body can be in parentheses. It is already
implied since the function body can be any valid statement, but it may
not be obvious to a reader who has only ever seen functions that used
curly brackets and assumes that they are part of the function syntax.
* Remove the incorrect claim that a local statement may only occur at
the top of a function.
* Show that a value may be assigned to a variable in a local statement.
* While here, replace unpaired double quotes with \(dq to avoid
confusing syntax highlighters.
