Fixed #35554, Refs #35060 -- Corrected deprecated *args parsing in Model.save()/asave().

The transitional logic added to deprecate the usage of *args for
Model.save()/asave() introduced two issues that this branch fixes:
 * Passing extra positional arguments no longer raised TypeError.
 * Passing a positional but empty update_fields would save all fields.
