AK: Document the non-standard extensions in TRY

I'm not sure there's a material improvement from this patch. However,
I've been reading the error handling code from multiple projects and
was excited to see Serenity being able to handle assignment
(`auto x = TRY(make_x())`) the same way as actions (`TRY(do_x())`).
I think it's worth documenting that this is only possible due to
non-standard extensions.
