Allow attributes on parameters and return values

Any annotation where the key has a dot in the name will go into the
attribute list. For example

  * @arg: (foo.bar baz): some arg

the parameter @arg will get the attribute with key foo.bar and value
baz. This also works for.

  * Returns: (foo.bar2 baz2): the return value

Also add tests for this new feature.
