[issue33947] Dataclasses can raise RecursionError in __repr__

Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lapeyre at henki.fr> added the comment:

This seems like a difficult problem to tackle in all cases, if two dataclasses reference each other the cycle could be complex to identify and introduce complexity.

The way repr is defined is part of PEP 557 and actually force this behavior.

Should the `repr` parameter default to False or not include the repr of each field?
