    Signal has historically contained a providing_args= argument, which
    listed the names of the arguments expected to be sent to the signal.
    This was optional and never used for anything beyond the ability to
    introspect a signal (which probably nobody does), and isn't supported on
    modern versions of Django.

    This change removes providing_args= from all signals.

    Ran unit tests.
