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

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

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