gh-149611: Explain return values for Path.write_text() and Path.write_bytes()

[omkar-334]

pathlib.Path.write_text and pathlib.Path.write_bytes both return an integer from the underlying file object's .write() call (number of characters and number of bytes, respectively), but neither the Sphinx documentation nor the docstrings mention this.

Issue - #149611

• Issue: Path.write_text() and Path.write_bytes() don't explain their return value #149611
