Zixuan James Li adae8b6d42 request: Refactor has_request_variables with ParamSpec. ...

This makes `has_request_variables` more generic, in the sense of the return
value, and also makes it more accurate, in the sense of requiring the
first parameter of the decorated function to be `HttpRequest`, and
preserving the function signature without using `cast`.

This affects some callers of `has_request_variables` or the callers of its
decoratedfunctions in the following manners:

- Decorated non-view functions called directly in other functions cannot
use `request` as a keyword argument. Becasue `Concatenate` turns the
concatenated parameters (`request: HttpRequest` in this case) into
positional-only parameters. Callers of `get_chart_data` are thus
refactored.

- Functions to be decorated that accept variadic keyword arguments must
define `request: HttpRequest` as positional-only. Mypy in strict mode
rejects such functions otherwise because it is possible for the caller to
pass a keyword argument that has the same name as `request` for `**kwargs`.
No defining `request: HttpRequest` as positional-only breaks type safety
because function with positional-or-keyword parameters cannot be considered
a subtype of a function with the same parameters in which some of them are
positional-only.

Consider `f(x: int, /, **kwargs: object) -> int` and `g(x: int,
**kwargs: object) -> int`. `f(12, x="asd")` is valid but `g(12, x="asd")`
is not.
