Sean Heffernan 426bcc9941 Change "Return" to "Returns" where necessary in XML documentation
In many of the XML files it had been noted that when the documentation
refers to a return value, both "Return" and "Returns" are used. This
has now been fixed to only say "Returns".

Fixes #28867

<description>
If this function returns true the generator will call [method generate] or [method generate_from_path] for small previews too.
By default it returns false.

<description>
Generate a preview from a given resource with the specified size. This must always be implemented.
Returning an empty texture is an OK way to fail and let another generator take care.
Care must be taken because this function is always called from a thread (not the main thread).

<description>
Generate a preview directly from a path with the specified size. Implementing this is optional, as default code will load and call [method generate].
Returning an empty texture is an OK way to fail and let another generator take care.
Care must be taken because this function is always called from a thread (not the main thread).

<method name="generate_small_preview_automatically" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="bool">
</return>
<description>
If this function returns true the generator will automatically generate the small previews from the normal preview texture generated by the methods [method generate] or [method generate_from_path].
By default it returns false.
