doc: Use self-closing tags for return and argument
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.

Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.

<description>
Converts a [Variant] var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.
[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
Use [code]indent[/code] parameter to pretty print the output.
[b]Example output:[/b]
