Update the documentation for `@return` tag of `putIfAbsent` to match the main description. `putIfAbsent` uses the same wording as `put` for its `@return` tag, but that is incorrect. `putIfAbsent` never returns the **previous** value, as the whole point of the method is not the replace the value if it was present. As such, if it returns a value, it is the **current** value, and in all other cases it will return `null`.
