For example, std needs to specify when win_types is gaussian. However, std should be specified in the operation argument, not as one of the rolling arguments. This change is to clarify this point.

DOC: Clarify where to the additional arguments for some win_types
For example, std needs to specify when win_types is gaussian. However, std should be specified in the operation argument, not as one of the rolling arguments. This change is to clarify this point. 

Closes: pandas-dev#34593
* ``gaussian`` (needs std in operation argument)
* ``general_gaussian`` (needs power, width in operation argument)
* ``slepian`` (needs width in operation argument)
* ``exponential`` (needs tau in operation argument), center is set to None.

I'm wondering if it may be helpful to also add some additional explanation below (something like: "Certain window types require that a scale parameter be passed...") since this is a fairly confusing situation, and then call attention to the Gaussian case in the examples section. Thoughts @wchen928 @MarcoGorelli?

How about we change to the following and add one more sentence before we list all the examples.

Suggested change
* ``exponential`` (needs tau in operation argument), center is set to None.
* ``exponential`` (need parameter: tau), center is set to None.

Additional sentence: Certain window types require a scale parameter to be passed. Please see the third example below on how to add the additional parameters.
