The new qapidoc.py can generate "Returns" statements with type
information just fine, so we can remove it from the source where it
doesn't add anything particularly novel or helpful and just repeats the
type info.
This patch is fairly "gentle" and doesn't aggressively touch other
"Returns" lines that could be rephrased to omit repeating type
information; it only removes lines that appear appropriate to wholly
remove.
To help facilitate auto-generated placement, several doc blocks have a
"TODO:" line inserted to help the placement algorithm differentiate the
introductory paragraph(s) from the rest of the documentation.
