Fix wording in attribute reference #2691

Description

@alcaeus

The attribute reference refers to parameters of attributes as "attributes", most likely as a leftover from when it was the annotation reference and wasn't as confusing. The following alternatives come to mind:

  • options: this can be confusing and makes for awkward wording, as in "the xyz option is optional" and implies that everything is optional
  • arguments: this is most likely the better choice, using the same wording used in general for parameter values in method calls
  • parameters: used interchangeably with arguments, but technically incorrect as it refers to the variables listed in a declaration

I would suggest replacing all mentions of option, attribute, etc. when talking about arguments with argument.
