This commit fixes a clause in the gohcl package documentation which incorrectly states that HCL blocks could be decoded into hcl.Body and hcl.Block types.

It also removes some code paths in decodeBlockToValue() that appeared to handled these cases. In practice, these paths were unreachable anyway due to various reflection-based type checks made before decodeBlockToValue() is
called.

This commit fixes a clause in the `gohcl` package documentation which incorrectly
states that HCL blocks could be decoded into `hcl.Body` and `hcl.Block` types.

It also removes some code paths in `decodeBlockToValue()` that _appeared_ to
handled these cases. In practice, these paths were unreachable anyway due to
various reflection-based type checks made before `decodeBlockToValue()` is
called.
