#36182: Incorrect `@return` documentation for `wp_set_object_terms()` and friends

--------------------------+-----------------
 `wp_set_object_terms()` and its wrappers state in their doc blocks that
 the return value is an array of term IDs. This is incorrect. The return
 value is, for better or for worse, term taxonomy IDs. The distinction
 matters less as shared terms start to go away, but the numbers will be
 perpetually different for legacy terms (or cases where shared terms have
 not been split) so the documentation should be fixed.
