Ed Page 59497629e8 docs: Encourage multiple_occurrences
There were fewer occasions than I expected where the use of
`multiple_values` was superfluous and we could instead use the more
predictable `multiple_occurrences`.

In terms of the remaining `multiple` split work, #1772 will take care of the derive
behavior and #2692 will resolve any remaining issues with values vs
occurrences in positional arguments.

Fixes #2816
