doc: Ensure documentation lists output argument when it exists for all m-files.

Rename variables in functions (particularly generic "retval") to match documentation. Rename some return variables for (hopefully) better clarity (e.g., 'ax' to 'hax' to indicate it is a graphics handle to an axes object).
