Update keyword argument description in method syntax guide

Remove discussion of Ruby 2.7 specific handling of keyword
argument separation.  Add a small example of keyword to
positional hash conversion for methods not accepting
keyword arguments.

-=== Keyword and Positional Argument Separation
+If a method definition does not accept any keywords, and the
+<code>**nil</code> syntax is not used, any keywords provided when calling
+the method will be converted to a Hash positional argument:
 
-Between Ruby 2.0 and 2.6, keyword and positional arguments were not
+  def meth(arg)
-separated, and a keyword argument could be used as a positional argument
+    arg
-and vice-versa.  In Ruby 3.0, keyword and positional arguments will
-be separated if the method definition includes keyword arguments.
-In Ruby 3.0, if the method definition does not include keyword arguments,
-keyword arguments provided when calling the method will continue to be
-treated as a final positional hash argument.
-
-In Ruby 2.7, the keyword and positional arguments are not separated,
-but cases where behavior will change in Ruby 3.0 will result in a
-warning being emitted.
-
-There are a few different types of keyword argument separation issues.
-
-==== Conversion of Hash to Keywords
-
-If a method is called with the hash, the hash could be treated as
-keywords:
-
-  def my_method(**keywords)
-    keywords
   end
-  my_method({a: 1}) # {:a => 1}
+  meth(a: 1)
-
+  # => {:a=>1}
-This occurs even if the hash could be an optional positional argument
-or an element of a rest argument:
-
-  def my_method(hash=nil, **keywords)
-    [hash, keywords]
-  end
-  my_method({a: 1}) # [nil, {:a => 1}]
-
-  def my_method(*args, **keywords)
-    [args, keywords]
-  end
-  my_method({a: 1}) # [[], {:a => 1}]
-
-However, if the hash is needed for a mandatory positional argument,
-it would not be treated as keywords:
-
-  def my_method(hash, **keywords)
-    [hash, keywords]
-  end
-  my_method({a: 1}) # [{:a => 1}, {}]
-
-==== Conversion of Keywords to Positional Arguments
-
-If a method is called with keywords, but it is missing one
-mandatory positional argument, the keywords are converted to
-a hash and the hash used as the mandatory positional argument:
-
-  def my_method(hash, **keywords)
-    [hash, keywords]
-  end
-  my_method(a: 1) # [{:a => 1}, {}]
-
-This is also true for empty keyword splats:
-
-  kw = {}
-  my_method(**kw) # [{}, {}]
-
-==== Splitting of Positional Hashes or Keywords
-
-If a method definition accepts specific keywords and not arbitrary keywords,
-keywords or a positional hash may be split if the hash includes both Symbol
-keys and non-Symbol keys and the keywords or positional hash are not needed
-as a mandatory positional argument.  In this case, the non-Symbol keys are
-separated into a positional argument hash, and the Symbol keys are used
-as the keyword arguments:
-
-  def my_method(hash=3, a: 4)
-    [hash, a]
-  end
-  my_method(a: 1, 'a' => 2)   # [{"a"=>2}, 1]
-  my_method({a: 1, 'a' => 2}) # [{"a"=>2}, 1]
