Issue:
DOC: `DataFrame.any()` and `DataFrame.all()` documentation specifies the wrong return types
### Pandas version checks

- [X] I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on `main` [here](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/)


### Location of the documentation

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.any.html
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.all.html


### Documentation problem

The documentation specifies that the return type is either a DataFrame or Series, but the [code](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/441f65df5c6dea850e6334ab770528184dfb0d33/pandas/core/frame.py#L11576) specifies a Series or bool.

`Series` or `bool` is correct, and the `level` argument mentioned in the code no longer exists.  

### Suggested fix for documentation

Returns:
DataFrame or scalar
If axis=None, then a scalar boolean is returned. Otherwise a `Series` is returned with index matching the `index` argument.
