Resolves #6953, by adding a corners argument to ImageDraw.rounded_rectangle - a tuple of booleans for whether or not to round each corner, going clockwise, starting with top left and ending with bottom left.

Re: https://understandlegacycode.com/blog/what-is-wrong-with-boolean-parameters/

Rather than something like:

rounded_rectangle((10, 20, 190, 180), 30, (True, False, True, True))

Would it be better if we made corners a required keyword argument?

rounded_rectangle((10, 20, 190, 180), 30, rounded=(True, False, True, True))

Ok, I've pushed a commit to only allow corners to be used as a keyword argument.

>>> draw.rounded_rectangle((10, 20, 190, 180), 30, "red", "green", 5, (True, True, True, True))
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: rounded_rectangle() takes from 2 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given
>>> draw.rounded_rectangle((10, 20, 190, 180), 30, "red", "green", 5, corners=(True, True, True, True))
>>> 


def rounded_rectangle(
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, corners=None
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, **kwargs

Or something like this for more transparency? Better for help(rounded_rectangle) and so on.

Suggested change
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, **kwargs
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, *, corners=None

Or even this?

Suggested change
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, **kwargs
self, xy, radius=0, fill=None, outline=None, width=1, *, corners=(True, True, True, True)

(And update/delete the below to match.)

I think corners=(True, True, True, True) is best. But what would the ordering be? Top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left (clock wise)?

I've updated the commit to use the first suggestion.

As for the ordering, yes, that is the ordering I've used. It mirrors the ordering in CSS for border-radius.
