[issue35784] document that hashlib.new takes kwargs

Thanks for the bug report.

While you are technically correct, I would like to hold off on this change for a bit more. I plan to replace our internal vendored copies of sha3 and blake2 with OpenSSL code. OpenSSL 1.1.1 has some of the new required APIs. OpenSSL 3.0.0-dev is currently adding more but with slightly different semantic. For example OpenSSL does not have blake2b, but blake2b512 for hashing and blake2bmac for keyed hashing with salting and personalization.

I like to get integration with OpenSSL right until hashlib.new() is officially documented.
