Cool! Thanks, @caleb531. I also compared the syntax highlighting in this pull request to the syntax highlighting that the old TextMate grammar provides, and confirmed that this pull request brings the Tree-sitter syntax highlighting up to par with the TextMate syntax highlighting for *args and **kwargs: TextMateTree-sitter before this PRTree-sitter after this PR |

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
*argsand**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.

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!
