fix:*-like creation routines take kwargs

+Fix a bug preventing ``ones_like``, ``full_like``, ``empty_like``, ``zeros_like`` and ``open_like`` functions from accepting
+an explicit specification of array attributes like shape, dtype, chunks etc. The functions ``full_like``,
+``empty_like``, and ``open_like`` now also more consistently infer a ``fill_value`` parameter from the provided array.
