bpo-45735: Promise the long-time truth that args=list works (GH-30982)

Browse source 
For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.
