Builtin functions and methods lack a .__text_signature__ property #2410
Description
On CPython:
>>> import inspect, struct
>>> inspect.signature(struct.unpack_from)
<Signature (format, /, buffer, offset=0)>Running this under the debugger (import pdb; pdb.runcall(inspect.signature, struct.unpack_from)), you see that inspect does getattr(struct.unpack_from, "__text_signature__") which is defined in CPython here, and that's not implemented in RustPython, so you get this instead:
>>>>> import inspect, struct
>>>>> inspect.signature(struct.unpack_from)

I will start to work on this issue.
