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

Abstraction and base class for packet-based protocols.
</brief_description>
<description>
PacketPeer is an abstraction and base class for packet-based protocols (such as UDP). It provides an API for sending and receiving packets both as raw data or variables. This makes it easy to transfer data over a protocol, without having to encode data as low level bytes or having to worry about network ordering.

<description>
Get a Variant. When [code]allow_objects[/code] (or [member allow_object_decoding]) is [code]true[/code] decoding objects is allowed.
[b]WARNING:[/b] Deserialized object can contain code which gets executed. Do not use this option if the serialized object comes from untrusted sources to avoid potential security threats (remote code execution).

Send a raw packet.

<description>
Send a Variant as a packet. When [code]full_objects[/code] (or [member allow_object_decoding]) is [code]true[/code] encoding objects is allowed (and can potentially include code).

Deprecated. Use [code]get_var[/code] and [code]put_var[/code] parameters instead.
If [code]true[/code] the PacketPeer will allow encoding and decoding of object via [method get_var] and [method put_var].
