Make _preprocess_data stricter regarding label_namer.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 139d1561b40d · 2018-09-17T14:53:58.000+02:00
Assert that label_namer (if given) is a parameter in the function
signature (not "possibly" present via `**kwargs`).  This seems more
consistent with the expectations of the check later; in fact we can
now just remove that check.
