[issue7963] Misleading error message from object(arg)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I've applied this.  Note that this makes the object.__new__ message consistent with, say, str.__new__.  That is, 'str.__new__(str, 2, 3)' results in the message "TypeError: str() argument 2 must be str, not int".  So the new object error message is consistent with that convention:  object.__new__(object, 1) now gives "TypeError: object() takes no parameters"
