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`.
