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="is_stopped" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />

<method name="start">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="time_sec" type="float" default="-1" />
<description>
Starts the timer. Sets [code]wait_time[/code] to [code]time_sec[/code] if [code]time_sec &gt; 0[/code]. This also resets the remaining time to [code]wait_time[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] this method will not resume a paused timer. See [member paused].

<method name="stop">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Stops the timer.
