## Summary
Add more precise type inference for a limited set of `isinstance(…)`
calls, i.e. return `Literal[True]` if we can be sure that this is the
correct result. This improves exhaustiveness checking / reachability
analysis for if-elif-else chains with `isinstance` checks. For example:
```py
def is_number(x: int | str) -> bool: # no "can implicitly return `None` error here anymore
if isinstance(x, int):
return True
elif isinstance(x, str):
return False
# code here is now detected as being unreachable
```
This PR also adds a new test suite for exhaustiveness checking.

### Ecosystem analysis
The removed diagnostics look good. There's [one
case](f52c4f1afd/torchvision/io/video_reader.py (L125-L143))
where a "true positive" is removed in unreachable code. `src` is
annotated as being of type `str`, but there is an `elif isinstance(src,
bytes)` branch, which we now detect as unreachable. And so the
diagnostic inside that branch is silenced. I don't think this is a
problem, especially once we have a "graying out" feature, or a lint that
warns about unreachable code.
## Summary
This PR resolves the way diagnostics are reported for an invalid call to
an overloaded function.
If any of the steps in the overload call evaluation algorithm yields a
matching overload but it's type checking that failed, the
`no-matching-overload` diagnostic is incorrect because there is a
matching overload, it's the arguments passed that are invalid as per the
signature. So, this PR improves that by surfacing the diagnostics on the
matching overload directly.
It also provides additional context, specifically the matching overload
where this error occurred and other non-matching overloads. Consider the
following example:
```py
from typing import overload
@overload
def f() -> None: ...
@overload
def f(x: int) -> int: ...
@overload
def f(x: int, y: int) -> int: ...
def f(x: int | None = None, y: int | None = None) -> int | None:
return None
f("a")
```
