…__ (#19733) Fixes #19732 This is a simple check to point users in the right direction when they get errors because their class uses `__new__` but they wrote stubs for `__init__`. I don't feel strongly about the exact wording used here. I also considered "Maybe you meant to define `__new__` instead of `__init__`?". (cherry picked from commit 530bdc5)
