Description

Django 5.x changed the vary_on_headers decorator to work slightly
differently (internally), which exposed a problem inside the API docs
sphinx extension. We were calling resources with the request as a kwarg,
but WebAPIResource.__call__ explicitly lists the request as a
positional argument. With the new decorator implementation, this was
causing an error about a duplicate 'request' parameter.

Testing Done

Built docs.
