org-babel-confirm-evaluate: better doc and code when using function as

  Thanks to Vladimir Alexiev for submitting this patch

* lisp/ob.el (org-babel-confirm-evaluate): Fix for the case when
  org-confirm-babel-evaluate is a function (used to always ask no matter
  what the function returns).
* doc/org.texi (Code evaluation security): Add example for using a
  function.
