[issue17805] No such class: multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult

[Takafumi Arakaki]

New submission from Takafumi Arakaki:

Document mentions AsyncResult but there is no such class.
http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult

You can check it by simply running:
python -c 'from multiprocessing.pool import AsyncResult'

I think it means ApplyResult so I made a patch (attached).

Note that there managers.py also uses name 'AsyncResult':
% hg grep AsyncResult
Doc/library/multiprocessing.rst:83232:.. class:: AsyncResult
Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039:    'apply_async': 'AsyncResult',
Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039:    'map_async': 'AsyncResult',
Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039:    'starmap_async': 'AsyncResult',
Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039:SyncManager.register('AsyncResult', create_method=False)

Probably renaming them would be better?
