doc: replace return with retval

`@return` is dedicated for brief description of return values, not for comments
stating actual return values. In addition, sphinx + breathe does not join
multiple adjacent `@return`. This results in multiple `Return` sections in the
generated document, which is confusing.

This patch replaces `@return` with `@retval` for the lists of return
values. Adjacent `@retval` can be joined into one list by breathe.

v1 -> v2:

* Replace return value descriptions like `negative` and `positive` with
  expressions like `<0` and `>0` in `@retval`.
* Keep the list of `@retval` comprehensive, even when there is a `@return` to
  generally describe what the return value means.
* Drop duplicated `@return` when it does not give more information than the
  `@retval` list.
