Remove superfluous semicolons from testsuite throughout. A few months ago semicolons after "return" were removed throughout the testsuite. However, as I pointed out in review, they're unnecessary not just after "return", but pretty much after any tcl command.

This patch was written by running: $ find . -name "*.exp" | xargs grep -l ";\s*$" | xargs sed -i 's/\([^#][^\s*;]*\)\s*;\s*$/\1/' and then undoing changes to comments, and lib/future.exp.
