Theme preprocess functions without hook-suffix take $hook as second argument. [#1123120]

API page: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--theme.inc/function/theme/6

In the list of the preprocess functions that theme() looks for, the parameter list for such functions is always reported to be &$variables, even for template_preprocess(&$variables), which instead gets an additional parameter.

Patch attached. Looking through the code for theme(), it seems that $hook is actually passed as second parameter to *all* preprocess functions, including the hook-specific ones. Since the parameter does not serve any use for those functions, I think it's best to leave it undocumented there...
