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.

Context to compute cryptographic hashes over multiple iterations.
</brief_description>
<description>
The HashingContext class provides an interface for computing cryptographic hashes over multiple iterations. This is useful for example when computing hashes of big files (so you don't have to load them all in memory), network streams, and data streams in general (so you don't have to hold buffers).
The [enum HashType] enum shows the supported hashing algorithms.

var ctx = HashingContext.new()

# Start a SHA-256 context.
ctx.start(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256)
# Check that file exists.
if not file.file_exists(path):
return
# Open the file to hash.
file.open(path, File.READ)
# Update the context after reading each chunk.
while not file.eof_reached():
ctx.update(file.get_buffer(CHUNK_SIZE))
# Get the computed hash.
var res = ctx.finish()
# Print the result as hex string and array.
