Merge #20556: rpc: Properly document return values (submitblock, gettxout, getblocktemplate, scantxoutset)

fa7ff0790e rpc: Properly document submitblock return value (MarcoFalke)
fae542c28b rpc: Properly document getblocktemplate return value (MarcoFalke)
fabaccf031 rpc: Properly document scantxoutset return value (MarcoFalke)
faa2059547 rpc: Properly document gettxout return value (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Currently a few return values are undocumented. This is causing confusion at the least. See for example #18476
