gh-155051: Reject None keyword arguments in decimal.localcontext() (GH-155054)

None is not a valid value for any of the context attributes.  The C
implementation silently ignored it, because it shared the code with the
Context constructor, where None means "not specified".  The pure Python
implementation always rejected it.
