[issue38719] Surprising and possibly incorrect passing of InitVar to __post_init__ method of data classes

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Should we also be checking for __post_init__ to have positional only arguments / syntax in the signature. I tried a simple fix of f.name + "=" + f.name to pass them as keyword always where current tests and reported example passes but with positional arguments it could be a problem.
