summary:

bpo-42576: Raise TypeError when passing in keyword arguments to GenericAlias (GH-23656)



Use `_PyArg_NoKeywords` instead of `_PyArg_NoKwnames` when checking the `kwds` tuple when creating `GenericAlias`. This fixes an interpreter crash when passing in keyword arguments to `GenericAlias`'s constructor.

Needs backport to 3.9.
