Add new checker `kwarg-superseded-by-positional-arg` and fix a false positive (#8644)
* Fix a false positive for ``redundant-keyword-arg`` when a function, with a keyword-only-parameter and ``**kwargs``, is called with a positional argument and a keyword argument where the keyword argument has the same name as the positional-only-parameter.
* Add new checker ``kwarg-superseded-by-positional-arg`` which emits a warning message for the above scenario.
Closes #8558
