Remove the Sequence encapsulation of variadic parameters

[BvB93]

Xref #143 and numpy/numpy#19969.

Variadic parameters were previously all encapsulated in a Sequence type, implying that each individual parameter must be a Sequence (rather than the encapsulated type).

Examples

from typing import List

def func1(*args: List[int]) -> None: ...
func1([1], [2], [3])

def func2(*args: int) -> None: ...
func2(1, 2, 3)

Interesting, that looks correct - but also counterintuitive, the annotation is a bit unhelpful as documentation.

It may be useful to then modify the sentences below each annotation to say "Sequence of ... arrays ..." for clarity.

I'm personally not huge fan of the term Sequence in this context.
The term Sequence works fine-ish if, for example, the input is passed via unpacking a list of arrays (out = func(*ar_list)),
but makes less sense if the arrays are explicitly passed as individual arguments (out = func(ar1, ar2, ar3)).

How about something along the lines of "variable" or "arbitrary" number of arrays?
I'd say this leaves less room for ambiguity.

Yes that sounds great to me.

LGTM now, thanks @BvB93!

Actually better wording would be "one or more" instead of "an arbitrary number", since none of these functions accept zero arguments, even though the *args syntax would allow it.
