Added subsection about returning media data streams in custom actions and functions.

Hi @davidhunglam ,
is this relevant for all kinds of services or is it specific for OData?
If OData specific, this section should better be placed in https://pages.github.tools.sap/cap/docs/advanced/odata.

Okay thanks, I'll move it.

@stewsk: on second thought, in my opinion, annotating operation returns with @Core.MediaType is not really adapter specific. It's just that there's currently an implementation only for OData services, but in theory this could be supported also for HCQL, etc.

Do you still think it should be moved?

Hi @davidhunglam , if you think this is not only relevant for OData but in general, then that's ok.
