DOC: clarify purpose of Attributes section
According to the official Python documentation, term "class variables"
denotes attributes shared by all instances of the class. The current
version of the Numpy/Scipy documentation guide uses the term to mean
non-method attributes. This commit replaces the confusing term with a
more appropriate one.
