Make named tuples an experimental feature again (#22045)

Resolves #22042

* Reverts most of the stabilization changes introduced in
#21680 excluding bugfixes introduced
when stabilizing the name tuples
* Adapts #21823 and
#21949 warnings to make them both
syntax deprecations instead of ambiguous syntax.
* Adds automatic rewrite to #21823
to replace `(foo = bar)` into `{foo = bar}`
