rpc: fix layout of endpoint list (#7742)

* rpc: fix layout of endpoint list The output of the default endpoint-list query was not correctly segregating methods with and without arguments. Fix this, and also clean up the output to be easier to read (both in code and in generated source). Fixes #3618.
