Alex Waygood 296d67a496 Special-case value-expression inference of special form subscriptions (#16877)
## Summary

Currently for something like `X = typing.Tuple[str, str]`, we infer the
value of `X` as `object`. That's because `Tuple` (like many of the
symbols in the typing module) is annotated as a `_SpecialForm` instance
in typeshed's stubs:


23382f5f8c/crates/red_knot_vendored/vendor/typeshed/stdlib/typing.pyi (L215)

and we don't understand implicit type aliases yet, and the stub for
`_SpecialForm.__getitem__` says it always returns `object`:


23382f5f8c/crates/red_knot_vendored/vendor/typeshed/stdlib/typing.pyi (L198-L200)

We have existing false positives in our test suite due to this:


23382f5f8c/crates/red_knot_python_semantic/resources/mdtest/annotations/annotated.md (L76-L78)

and it's causing _many_ new false positives in #16872, which tries to
make our annotation-expression parsing stricter in some ways.

This PR therefore adds some small special casing for `KnownInstanceType`
variants that fallback to `_SpecialForm`, so that these false positives
can be avoided.

## Test Plan

Existing mdtest altered.
