docs: clarify example on dynamic dependency tracking

[BastiDood]

Description

This PR clarifies the explanation behind the short-circuiting a || b example used in the $effect guide. I personally felt like the original explanation was too short and too handwavy over the fascinating implications of dynamic dependency tracking. So, I expanded the explanation to cover both cases (i.e., when a is false and when a is true).

Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following

• It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
• Prefix your PR title with feat:, fix:, chore:, or docs:.
• This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
• Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests and linting

• Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint

Maybe we could add a potential workaround, to further clarify the behaviour?

Example:

Escape Hatch: Forcing Effect Re-Runs on Every State Change

If you really need to ensure that the effect always runs when either a or b changes, regardless of the short-circuit behavior of the || operator, you can explicitly reference both values in the effect:

	let a = $state(false);
	let b = $state(false);

	$effect(() => {
		// Explicitly reference `a` and `b` so this effect re-runs whenever they change
		a;
		b;

		// This will run on every change to either `a` or `b`
		console.log('running');

		if (a || b) {
			console.log('inside if block');
		}
	});

This approach establishes direct dependencies on both a and b by reading them within the effect. It ensures the effect re-runs whenever either value changes, but use it cautiously.

Note: There are usually better ways to fix this issue. With this escape hatch, console.log("running") will trigger on every change to either a or b, possibly causing unnecessary re-renders. (Demo)

We could do something like that. Though, my original scope for this PR was to simply expound on the a || b example in terms of a case analysis to better illuminate why b wouldn't be depended on. I feel that an additional example is already beyond what I intended for this PR specifically and is thus more appropriate as a follow-up PR after this one.

I'll wait on the Svelte team to chime in on how to best proceed here.

Hello there! Just gonna bump this PR. I'd like to know if there are any concerns with the way I worded the clarification (and possibly improvements if necessary). Thanks again!
