Python -builtin constructors silently ignored keyword arguments.

Instead of silenty ignoring them, now a "TypeError: f() takes no keyword arguments"
exception is thrown if keyword arguments are used. Hence constructors and normal
methods/functions behave in the same way.

Closes issue #1595

+            [Python] #1595 Python -builtin constructors silently ignored keyword arguments.
+            Instead of silenty ignoring them, now a "TypeError: f() takes no keyword arguments"
+            exception is thrown if keyword arguments are used. Hence constructors and normal methods/
+            functions behave in the same way. Note, -keyword should be used with -builtin to obtain

             they are used as part of the scope name of an identifier, such as a namespace name.
