Improve docstrings of thread-list functions

* lisp/thread.el (thread-list--timer-func): Change
argument from 'buf' to 'buffer'.
(thread-list--get-entries, thread-list--get-status): Improve
docstring.
(thread-list--send-signal): Change argument from 'sgnl' to
'signal'.  Tell the user when the thread is no longer alive.
