Summary: Incorrect error message related to **kwargs

Initial Comment:
"""
>>> def foo(**kwargs):
...     pass
...
>>> foo(5, 6)
TypeError: foo() takes exactly 0 arguments (2 given)
"""

It clearly does take arguments, just not positional
arguments.

The attached patch changes the message above to "foo()
takes exactly 0 non-keyword arguments", as well as
changing the message in several other, similar cases.

The patch also updates Lib/test/output/test_extcall
appropriately.

The patch is against r46495.
