docs/qapi-domain: add "Return:" field lists

Add "Return:" field list syntax to QAPI Commands.

Like "Arguments:" and "Errors:", the type name isn't currently processed
for cross-referencing, but this will be addressed in a forthcoming
commit.

The syntax of the new field is:

:return TypeName: description
   description cont'd

This patch adds "Return" as a GroupedField, which means that multiple
return values can be annotated - this is only done because Sphinx does
not support mandatory type arguments to Ungrouped fields. Because we
want to cross-reference this type information later, we want to make the
type argument mandatory. As a result, you can technically add multiple
:return: fields, though I'm not aware of any circumstance in which you'd
need or want to. Recommendation: "Don't do that, then." The forthcoming
QAPIDoc transmogrifier does not, in fact, ever "do that".
