Junjie Mao 584f6b7255 doc: replace return with retval
`@return` is dedicated for brief description of return values, not for comments
stating actual return values. In addition, sphinx + breathe does not join
multiple adjacent `@return`. This results in multiple `Return` sections in the
generated document, which is confusing.

This patch replaces `@return` with `@retval` for the lists of return
values. Adjacent `@retval` can be joined into one list by breathe.

v1 -> v2:

* Replace return value descriptions like `negative` and `positive` with
  expressions like `<0` and `>0` in `@retval`.
* Keep the list of `@retval` comprehensive, even when there is a `@return` to
  generally describe what the return value means.
* Drop duplicated `@return` when it does not give more information than the
  `@retval` list.

Jie Deng 7579678dd6 dm: add const declaration for dm_strto* APIs
These APIs are wrap of standard strto* APIs. The first parameters in
these APIs should be declared as "const" since they have never been
changed so that they can also be used when passing a variable declared
as const char *

Conghui Chen e1dab512c2 dm: add string convert API
As function sscanf is banned, to get value from parameter buffer,strto*
is recommended. To reduce the inspection code when using strto*, it's
better to use a string convert API.

Usage:
    For virtio-blk, it has parameters:
        range=<start lba>/<subfile size>
    sscanf:
        if (sscanf(cp, "range=%ld/%ld", &sub_file_start_lba,
                &sub_file_size) == 2)
            sub_file_assign = 1;
    string API:
        if (strsep(&cp, "=") &&
                !dm_strtol(cp, &cp, 10, &sub_file_start_lba) &&
                *cp == '/' &&
                !dm_strtol(cp + 1, &cp, 10, &sub_file_size))
            sub_file_assign = 1;
