Moved form of for-see statement into options

m Changed some variable and structure names: forRow's second item is a table called "pages" instead of a table called "see" now; more logical naming

-- For see
--
-- Makes a "For X, see [[Y]]." list from raw parameters. Intended for the
-- {{about}} and {{redirect}} templates and their variants. Also incidentally
-- introduces andList & orList helpers, useful for other hatnote lists.
