python: Fix at sign decorator highlighting conflict with matrix multiplication at sign operator (#58077)

In the current Python Tree-sitter `highlight.scm`, the `@` used for
decorators (`@punctuation.special` rule) is incorrectly overridden by
the `@` used for matrix multiplication (`@operator` rule).

This PR updates the matrix multiplication highlight query so it only
applies in binary operator contexts, and it also removes a duplicate
`@punctuation.special` for the `@` decorator.
