[issue35892] Fix awkwardness of statistics.mode() for multimodal datasets

[Francis MB]

>> There may be better names for the flag.  "tie_goes_to_first_encountered" seemed a bit long though ;-)

Could it may be an alternative to set the mode tie case in a form like:

def mode(seq, *, case=CHOOSE_FIRST):
  [...]

(or TIE_CHOOSE_FIRST, ...) where CHOOSE_FIRST is an enum ?

Thanks!
