Plugin/module docs: parse return values, add collection names in them (version_added_collection), and format them nicely in ansible-doc (#69796)
* Tag return value docs if they are a dict (and not str/None).

* Try to parse return docs as YAML.

* Properly dump return values in ansible-doc.

* Adjust plugin formatter.

* Add changelog fragment.

* Don't add 'default' for return values.

* Fix plugin_formatter.

* Only try to parse return docs if they are still a string.

* Add tests.

* Warn if RETURN cannot be parsed.

* Adjust tests. Also test for warning.

* if -> elif (otherwise EXAMPLE will be parsed too).

* Always parse return documentation, and fail if it is invalid YAML.

* Polishing.

* Mostly re-enable ansible-doc tests.

Listing from the local collection seems to be somewhat broken. I assume this
is why the test was disabled.

* Lint and make tests work with Python 2.

* Keep FQCNs in plugins (not modules), i.e. restore previous state.
