Update tcl doc, yosys does not return data to tcl

This pull request is to address YosysHQ/yosys#2980.

The documentation, as originally written, does not make it clear that yosys commands, when used within a tcl script, do not return any value to the tcl script.

This pull request notes this and offers a workaround via tee as noted in the issue.
