Bug #19759: Surprising automatic splat with ruby2_keywords_hash
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19759#change-103960

----------------------------------------
On Ruby 3 and newer the following prints `[:aa, :bb, :k]`:
```ruby
def yielder(splat)
yield([:a, :b], *splat)
end
yielder([[:aa, :bb], Hash.ruby2_keywords_hash({k: :k})]) do |a, b, k:|
p [a, b, k]
end
```
It expanded the second array involved and `[:a, :b]` vanished.
This is surprising because automatic array expansion for blocks
used to only happen when passing one array in total.
The script prints `[[:a, :b], [:aa, :bb], :k]` with 2.7.3.

I found this while puzzling over this line in the autosplat logic:
```c
if (given_argc == (NIL_P(keyword_hash) ? 1 : 2) &&
```
It might be tempting to fix it by reversing part of commit:beae6cbf0fd and make it `if
(given_argc == 1)`.
However that's incorrect due to inducing a behavior change for cases like
`yield(*[[:a, :b], keywords_hash])`.
