gh-90562: Support zero argument super with dataclasses when slots=True

-        Calling no-arg :func:`super` in dataclasses using ``slots=True``
-        will result in the following exception being raised:
-        ``TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type``.
-        The two-arg :func:`super` is a valid workaround.
