Calling `super` (without parentheses) would pass two arguments (`foo` and `bar`) to the super method which only takes one argument, resulting in an `ArgumentError`.

Feature #15574: Prohibit to pass a block on super() implicitly

As described in [Feature #15554], `super()` (not `super`) pass the given block.

```
class C
  def foo
    p block_given?
  end
end

class C1 < C
  def foo
    super   #=> true
    super() #=> true
  end
end

C1.new.foo{}
```

`super` (without parameters) passes all passed parameters so it is no surprise to pass given block. 

However, `super()` (with parameters. In this case, it passes 0 parameters) also pass given block implicitly.

I'm not sure who use this behavior, but I think it is simple to prohibit such implicit block passing.
