    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.
