ISSUE-001: Correct positional arg counting on entry

- Treat `co_argcount` as the total number of positional parameters (including
  positional-only), per CPython 3.8+ semantics.
- Stop double-counting positional-only by removing the addition of
  `co_posonlyargcount`.
- Keeps varargs/kw-only/kwargs indexing correct and stable.

Rationale:
Previously we added `co_posonlyargcount` to `co_argcount`, which could shift
indexes and misclassify `*args`/kw-only in edge cases. Existing tests cover
presence and encoding of all argument kinds; this change aligns the
implementation with the spec while preserving test expectations.

Validation:
- `cargo build` succeeds locally. Python test execution is not performed due to
  sandboxed environment, but behavior is a strict refinement consistent with
  CPython semantics and current tests.
