gh-109218: Deprecate weird cases in the complex() constructor (GH-119620)

* Passing a string as the "real" keyword argument is now an error;
  it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
* Passing a complex number as the "real" or "imag" argument is now deprecated;
  it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
