[ruby-core:98003] [Ruby master Misc#16802] Prefer use of RHS assigment in documentation

Issue #16802 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


I think we should wait that RHS assignment is no longer experimental.

As I see it, it might get similar backlash as the pipeline operator and might still be removed (personally I don't like RHS assignment, I find it confusing and less readable).

Many documentation uses some format like this:

```
  Hash.new            -> hash
```

Now that RHS assignment is a thing, we can make the documentation valid Ruby code:

```
  Hash.new            => hash
```

There is some discussion here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3026

I would like to start changing the existing documentation to use this, and in addition, make an automated sweep of the entire code base to update to the new syntax.
