Hi,

This fixes an omission in shortdoc.el that causes the following to emit
an error instead of showing the *Help* buffer:

1. emacs -Q
2. (add-hook 'help-fns-describe-function-functions
             #'shortdoc-help-fns-examples-function)
3. C-h f add-face-text-property RET
4. Emacs says "Wrong type argument: prop-match, nil"

It also shows the example if one just does "C-h f" without any hooks.

Thanks, installed on the emacs-29 branch, and closing the bug.
