Moving top list item will move whole list only if moving by subtree.

* org-list.el (org-list-automatic-rules): doc-string reflects this
  change.
* org-list.el (org-indent-item-tree): prevent whole list from being
  moved when user is not moving subtree. Thus,
  `org-cycle-item-indentation' will not allow to move the list.
