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).

##
## Grab the code from a report created by the @code{publish} function.
##
## The grabbed code inside the published report must be enclosed by the
## strings @samp{##### SOURCE BEGIN #####} and @samp{##### SOURCE END #####}.
## The @code{publish} function creates this format automatically.
##
## If no return value is requested the code is saved to a temporary file and
## opened in the default editor.  NOTE: The temporary file must be saved to a
## new filename or the code will be lost.
##
## If an output is requested the grabbed code will be returned as string
## @var{code_str}.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## publish ("my_script.m");
## grabcode ("html/my_script.html");
## @end group
## @end example
##
## The example above publishes @file{my_script.m} to the default location
## @file{html/my_script.html}.  Next, the published Octave script is grabbed to
## edit its content in a new temporary file.
