Kurt Griffiths c2cb7091e2 doc: Unindent additional Return lines to work around napolean bug (#892) 
In a google-style docstring, this is problematic:

    Returns:
        str: Some really long description that requires more
            than one line

Since the additional text (i.e., "than one line") is indented,
napolean gets confused and incorrectly formats the description. The
fix is to align subsequent lines with the first:

    Returns:
        str: Some really long description that requires more
        than one line.

Along the way I also added missing return types as needed.

def add_route(self, uri_template, resource, *args, **kwargs):
"""Associates a templatized URI path with a resource.
Note:
The following information describes the behavior of
Falcon's default router.
A resource is an instance of a class that defines various
"responder" methods, one for each HTTP method the resource
allows. Responder names start with `on_` and are named according to
which HTTP method they handle, as in `on_get`, `on_post`, `on_put`,
etc.
If your resource does not support a particular
HTTP method, simply omit the corresponding responder and
Falcon will reply with "405 Method not allowed" if that
method is ever requested.
Responders must always define at least two arguments to receive
request and response objects, respectively. For example::
def on_post(self, req, resp):
pass
In addition, if the route's template contains field
expressions, any responder that desires to receive requests
for that route must accept arguments named after the respective
field names defined in the template. A field expression consists
of a bracketed field name.
Note:
Since field names correspond to argument names in responder
methods, they must be valid Python identifiers.
For example, given the following template::
/user/{name}
A PUT request to "/user/kgriffs" would be routed to::
def on_put(self, req, resp, name):
pass
Individual path segments may contain one or more field
expressions::
/repos/{org}/{repo}/compare/{usr0}:{branch0}...{usr1}:{branch1}
Args:
uri_template (str): A templatized URI. Care must be
taken to ensure the template does not mask any sink
patterns, if any are registered (see also `add_sink`).
resource (instance): Object which represents a REST
resource. Falcon will pass "GET" requests to on_get,
"PUT" requests to on_put, etc. If any HTTP methods are not
supported by your resource, simply don't define the
corresponding request handlers, and Falcon will do the right
thing.
Note:
Any additional args and kwargs not defined above are passed
through to the underlying router's ``add_route()`` method. The
default router does not expect any additional arguments, but
custom routers may take advantage of this feature to receive
additional options when setting up routes.

If no route matches a request, but the path in the requested URI
matches a sink prefix, Falcon will pass control to the
associated sink, regardless of the HTTP method requested.
Using sinks, you can drain and dynamically handle a large number
of routes, when creating static resources and responders would be
impractical. For example, you might use a sink to create a smart
proxy that forwards requests to one or more backend services.
Args:
sink (callable): A callable taking the form ``func(req, resp)``.
prefix (str): A regex string, typically starting with '/', which
will trigger the sink if it matches the path portion of the
request's URI. Both strings and precompiled regex objects
may be specified. Characters are matched starting at the
beginning of the URI path.
Note:
Named groups are converted to kwargs and passed to
the sink as such.
Warning:
If the prefix overlaps a registered route template,
the route will take precedence and mask the sink
(see also `add_route`).

"""Registers a handler for a given exception error type.
A handler can raise an instance of ``HTTPError`` or
``HTTPStatus`` to communicate information about the issue to
the client. Alternatively, a handler may modify `resp`
directly.
Error handlers are matched in LIFO order. In other words, when
searching for an error handler to match a raised exception, and
more than one handler matches the exception type, the framework
will choose the one that was most recently registered.
Therefore, more general error handlers (e.g., for the
``Exception`` type) should be added first, to avoid masking more
specific handlers for subclassed types.
Args:
exception (type): Whenever an error occurs when handling a request
that is an instance of this exception class, the associated
handler will be called.
handler (callable): A function or callable object taking the form
``func(ex, req, resp, params)``.
If not specified explicitly, the handler will default to
``exception.handle``, where ``exception`` is the error
type specified above, and ``handle`` is a static method
(i.e., decorated with @staticmethod) that accepts
the same params just described. For example::
class CustomException(CustomBaseException):
@staticmethod
def handle(ex, req, resp, params):
# TODO: Log the error
# Convert to an instance of falcon.HTTPError
raise falcon.HTTPError(falcon.HTTP_792)

"""Override the default serializer for instances of HTTPError.
When a responder raises an instance of HTTPError, Falcon converts
it to an HTTP response automatically. The default serializer
supports JSON and XML, but may be overridden by this method to
use a custom serializer in order to support other media types.
The ``falcon.HTTPError`` class contains helper methods, such as
`to_json()` and `to_dict()`, that can be used from within
custom serializers. For example::
def my_serializer(req, resp, exception):
representation = None
preferred = req.client_prefers(('application/x-yaml',

Note:
If a custom media type is used and the type includes a
"+json" or "+xml" suffix, the default serializer will
convert the error to JSON or XML, respectively. If this
is not desirable, a custom error serializer may be used
to override this behavior.
