Subject: [PATCH] Fix Javadoc in ProtobufDecoder's MessageSizeReader API
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previously, the @⁠return tag in MessageSizeReader.readMessageSize() was
followed by a redundant "return", which rendered as "Returns: return
the message size..." in the published API documentation.

Closes gh-37079
