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.

<methods>
<method name="post">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Lowers the [Semaphore], allowing one more thread in.
</description>
</method>
<method name="try_wait">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<description>
Like [method wait], but won't block, so if the value is zero, fails immediately and returns [constant ERR_BUSY]. If non-zero, it returns [constant OK] to report success.
</description>
</method>
<method name="wait">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Waits for the [Semaphore], if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero.
