Summary
--
Unlike the other syntax errors detected so far, parenthesized keyword
arguments are only allowed *before* 3.8. It sounds like they were only
accidentally allowed before that [^1].
As an aside, you get a pretty confusing error from Python for this, so
it's nice that we can catch it:
```pycon
>>> def f(**kwargs): ...
... f((a)=1)
...
File "<python-input-0>", line 2
f((a)=1)
^^^
SyntaxError: expression cannot contain assignment, perhaps you meant "=="?
>>>
```
Test Plan

Inline tests.

Ruff Python Parser
Ruff's Python parser is a hand-written recursive descent parser which can parse Python source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It also utilizes the Pratt parsing technique to parse expressions with different precedence.
Try out the parser in the playground.
Python version support
The parser supports the latest Python syntax, which is currently Python 3.12.
It does not throw syntax errors if it encounters a syntax feature that is not
supported by the target-version.
This will be fixed in a future release (see https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/6591).
