python: Fix splat parameter highlighting (#58136)

In the current Python Tree-sitter `highlights.scm`, splat parameters
(e.g., `*args`, `**kwargs`) and typed splat parameters are not
highlighted as `@variable.parameter` due to missing patterns.

This PR adds `list_splat_pattern` and `dictionary_splat_pattern` to the
function parameter rules so splat parameters are correctly colored.
