document ref assignment in list context

The 'refaliasing' feature, whereby assigning to a literal reference
causes an aliasing operation (e.g. \$x = \...) didn't document what was
returned if the assignment was done in list context.

This commit adds a basic summary to the docs.

See the thread http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/267074
for the discussion.
