date_list context variable incorrectly documented

Description

The 'date_list' context variable, provided by django.views.generic.date_based.archive_year and .archive_month, is documented as being a list of datetime.date objects. In fact, it is a DateQuerySet, which in at least some circumstances, behaves quite differently.

I believe that the behaviour, as implemented, is correct, and that this is simply a documentation issue. I have attached a patch which, I believe, clarifies the situation.
