pkg-mgr-commands.tex: More precise wording for assert
The pipe status variable is an array, which consists of array elements.
The term "components" is used with a different meaning elsewhere.
Update the command properties table. These apply only to the die
command, and assert inherits them ("calls die, passing any parameters
to it").
