Don't special-case class instances in binary expression inference (#15161)

Just like in #15045 for unary expressions: In binary expressions, we
were only looking for dunder expressions for `Type::Instance` types. We
had some special cases for coercing the various `Literal` types into
their corresponding `Instance` types before doing the lookup. But we can
side-step all of that by using the existing `Type::to_meta_type` and
`Type::to_instance` methods.

# Binary operations on classes
## Union of two classes
Unioning two classes via the `|` operator is only available in Python 3.10 and later.
```toml
[environment]
python-version = "3.10"
```
```py
class A: ...
class B: ...
reveal_type(A | B) # revealed: UnionType
```
## Union of two classes (prior to 3.10)
```py
class A: ...
class B: ...
# error: "Operator `|` is unsupported between objects of type `Literal[A]` and `Literal[B]`"
reveal_type(A | B) # revealed: Unknown
```
