[issue18726] json functions have too many positional parameters

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Guido's decision on similar issue25628 is that changing keyword-or-positional parameters to keyword-only is safe and can be made without deprecation.

If we started the deprecation period in 3.4, we could finish it in 3.6.

Proposed simple patch changes all optional parameters in functions and constructors that takes too much parameters in the json module to keyword-only without deprecation.
