docs/howto: use list.{Avg,Max,Min,Sum}

This adds a Commented CUE guide that demonstrates the use of list.Avg,
list.Max, list.Min and list.Sum to produce simple summary statistics of
numeric lists.

A manually calculated mean using len() and the result of list.Sum is
included in order to highlight the equivalence of this method and
list.Avg. List contents are selected that elongate the mean's decimal
representation, which further highlights the two methods' equality.
