Summary: Update kwargs in pickle docs to match implementations

Initial Comment:
The pickle documentation says that the first argument to dump 
and dumps is called "object", but both the pure-Python pickle 
module and (now) the cPickle module call it "obj". The pickle 
module purposely calls it "obj" instead of "object" to avoid 
shadowing the "object" builtin, and the cPickle does likewise to 
maintain API compatibility.
