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

Quaternion.
</brief_description>
<description>
A unit quaternion used for representing 3D rotations.
It is similar to [Basis], which implements matrix representation of rotations, and can be parametrized using both an axis-angle pair or Euler angles. But due to its compactness and the way it is stored in memory, certain operations (obtaining axis-angle and performing SLERP, in particular) are more efficient and robust against floating point errors.
Quaternions need to be (re)normalized.
