This form is used to annotate a return type without an accompanying
description, for when there is no "Returns:" information in the source
doc, but we have a return type we want to generate a cross-reference to.
The syntax is:
:return-nodesc: TypeName
It's primarily necessary because Sphinx always expects both a type and a
description for the prior form and will format it accordingly. To have a
reasonable rendering when the body is missing, we need to use a
different info field list entirely.

This patch changes the qapidoc transmogrifier to generate Return value
documentation for any command that has a return value but hasn't
explicitly documented that return value.

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.
