Summary

Remove the obsolete parenthetical "(technically speaking, a condition list)"
from the eval() documentation.

The term "condition list" is no longer part of the current Python grammar and
is not used elsewhere in the documentation. The surrounding text already
describes the source argument as a Python expression, so removing the
outdated terminology improves clarity without changing the documented behavior.

Closes gh-153808.

Please don't ping people like this, it reads quite rudely IMO. We have a long queue of other PRs.
