bug#15493: 24.3; Info node on advising functions out of date

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I'm using the archlinux emacs package. Looking at the info section on
advising functions, I realized it seems to be out of date with the
actual code. Specifically, all the functions in the "(elisp) Argument
Access in Advice" node should be named *-argument(s), not *-arg(s), and
the function arguments are off: there are two args, not one.
