Add a positional_args attribute to Arguments nodes for mock ASTs #255

It's not possible to create positional-only arguments in pure Python, but some builtin functions have them. This would make it possible to create accurate signatures for, e.g., the string methods.

Original comment by Claudiu Popa (BitBucket: PCManticore, GitHub: PCManticore):

Maybe merge this with #215? This would be useful for being exported to pylint as well, since it can warn when arguments are passed by keyword argument, when that's not possible.
