uci:get_list: always return a table, no matter what.
Previously, get_list("fake", "non-existent", "notreal") would still return a table, just empty. This is nice, as you can always iterate the returned table, without having to check it first. However, if you happened to pass a nil for any of the parameters, you would actually get a nil in return. This was inconsistent. The documentation is updated to clarify the behaviour of this function. Signed-off-by: Karl Palsson <karlp@remake.is>
