I think we can greatly simplify core if we update our assumptions around the axes of dimensions we deal with. I came to this change trying to get rid of `NDFrame._construct_axes_from_arguments` which appears to do some argument mutation that isn't very clear. This was one of the few methods that called that, while also calling `validate_axis_style_args` which is guilty of the same kind of mutation

By being more explicit about the signature and converting this to keyword only arguments (which a FutureWarning detailed anyway) we can simplify the code and I think make more readable

This looks like a nice bugfix Yea sure I'll try to take another look @WillAyd conflict and some comments @TomAugspurger yea that is the one case where this would break things, but the flip side is that also invites ambiguous uses like `df.rename(str.lower, index=str.upper)` (on master silently discards `index`) so not sure there's a perfect solution Mmm I'd forgotten that case. So +1 to whatever the group thinks here :) Planning to merge this in an hour, just before tagging the RC. Thanks @WillAyd!
