Fixes #140505

The xmlrpc.client.MultiCall documentation incorrectly used 'parameters' when it should say 'arguments'.

As noted in the issue, the MultiCall object stores the call name and arguments (not parameters) since the call occurs through a __getitem__ that returns a _MultiCallMethod callable with *args.

This PR changes the word 'parameters' to 'arguments' in line 475 of the MultiCall class documentation.
