Subject: [PATCH] Update where docstring to make return value type more clear
 (#3408)

* Update where docstring to make return value type more clear

The where docstring was a little confusing to me.  I misunderstood "Same type as caller' to mean the values in the xarray not the xarray itself.  I think this small change will clean it up for most users.  Thanks.

* Update xarray/core/common.py
