[IronPython] Error message for duplicate keyword arguments

[Dino Viehland]

Filed as 24576 (http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=24576)

I don't know that it'll get fixed for 2.6 (although I will take a look).  But
I think keyword arg calling needs some general work post-2.6 so that 
polymorphic and megamorphic cases work faster and this fix could at least be 
done at the same time as that.
