Message:

Docs: Explicitly return null when documented instead of void in link-template.php functions.

The phpdoc @return tags for these functions indicate they may return null. This also fixes "Missing return argument" warnings which an IDE may also complain about.

Developed in ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8955

Props justlevine.
See #64238.
