Requirements
Description of the Change
Back in #297, I added highlighting for formal function parameters to the Python tree-sitter grammar. This PR follows up on that work with two additional fixes for splat parameters such as
*args
and**kwargs
.Alternate Designs
I could've chosen more-generic or more-specific selectors to tokenize these nodes, depending on how broad these changes are desired to be. But to avoid any potential breakages, I aimed to keep these changes narrow in scope.

After:

Benefits
More consistent syntax highlighting for tree-sitter-tokenized Python files, continuing in the spirit of #297
Possible Drawbacks
I don't think there are any, as I tried to make my changes focused enough to avoid breaking anything. But if there's anything else I could consider in terms of the impact on Python syntax, please let me know!
