bpo-29453: Remove reference to undefined dictionary ordering in Tutorial (GH-140) (#208)

Browse source 
As of Python 3.6 **kwargs are ordered, thus, remove the paragraph stating that
ordering is undefined and change snippet to remove the unecessary sorted call.

* Add sentence mentioning guaranteed output order of kwargs

(cherry picked from commit 32e8f9bdfd)

Note that the list of keyword argument names is created by sorting the result Note that the order in which the keyword arguments are printed is guaranteed
of the keywords dictionary's ``keys()`` method before printing its contents; to match the order in which they were provided in the function call.
if this is not done, the order in which the arguments are printed is undefined.
