[issue41644] builtin type kwargs

[Joseph Perez]

New submission from Joseph Perez <joperez at hotmail.fr>:

Class definition can have kwargs which are used by `__init_subclass__` (and `__prepare__`).
However, passing these kwargs using `type` builtin function instead of class definition syntax is not documented; kwargs are not mentioned in the function signature.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#type

However, passing kwargs to `type` works:
```python
class Foo:
    def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
        print(kwargs)
Bar = type("Bar", (Foo,), {}, bar=None) # mypy and Pycharm complain
#> {'bar': None}
```

By the way, the possibility to pass kwargs in `type` call is not documented  in https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#customizing-class-creation too.
