All the callers of "ask", "extract_valid_address", and "validate_patch"
subroutines assign the return values from them to a single scalar:

$var = subr(...);

and "return undef;" in these subroutine can safely be turned into a
simpler "return;". Doing so will also future-proof a new caller that
mistakenly does this:

@foo = ask(...);
if (@foo) { ... we got an answer ... } else { ... we did not ... }

Note that we leave "return undef;" in validate_address on purpose,
even though Perlcritic may complain. The primary "return" site of
the function returns whatever is in the scalar variable $address, so
it is pointless to change only the other "return undef;" to "return".
The caller must be prepared to see an array with a single undef as
the return value from this subroutine anyway.
