## Summary
Part of [#117](https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/117).
`TypeIs[]` is a special form that allows users to define their own
narrowing functions. Despite the syntax, `TypeIs` is not a generic and,
on its own, it is meaningless as a type.
[Officially](https://typing.python.org/en/latest/spec/narrowing.html#typeis),
a function annotated as returning a `TypeIs[T]` is a <i>type narrowing
function</i>, where `T` is called the <i>`TypeIs` return type</i>.
A `TypeIs[T]` may or may not be bound to a symbol. Only bound types have
narrowing effect:
```python
def f(v: object = object()) -> TypeIs[int]: ...
a: str = returns_str()
if reveal_type(f()): # Unbound: TypeIs[int]
reveal_type(a) # str
if reveal_type(f(a)): # Bound: TypeIs[a, int]
reveal_type(a) # str & int
```
Delayed usages of a bound type has no effect, however:
```python
b = f(a)
if b:
reveal_type(a) # str
```
A `TypeIs[T]` type:
* Is fully static when `T` is fully static.
* Is a singleton/single-valued when it is bound.
* Has exactly two runtime inhabitants when it is unbound: `True` and
`False`.
In other words, an unbound type have ambiguous truthiness.
It is possible to infer more precise truthiness for bound types;
however, that is not part of this change.
`TypeIs[T]` is a subtype of or otherwise assignable to `bool`. `TypeIs`
is invariant with respect to the `TypeIs` return type: `TypeIs[int]` is
neither a subtype nor a supertype of `TypeIs[bool]`. When ty sees a
function marked as returning `TypeIs[T]`, its `return`s will be checked
against `bool` instead. ty will also report such functions if they don't
accept a positional argument. Addtionally, a type narrowing function
call with no positional arguments (e.g., `f()` in the example above)
will be considered invalid.

## Summary
I think `division-by-zero` is a low-value diagnostic in general; most
real division-by-zero errors (especially those that are less obvious to
the human eye) will occur on values typed as `int`, in which case we
don't issue the diagnostic anyway. Mypy and pyright do not emit this
diagnostic.
Currently the diagnostic is prone to false positives because a) we do
not silence it in unreachable code, and b) we do not implement narrowing
of literals from inequality checks. We will probably fix (a) regardless,
but (b) is low priority apart from division-by-zero.
I think we have many more important things to do and should not allow
false positives on a low-value diagnostic to be a distraction. Not
opposed to re-enabling this diagnostic in future when we can prioritize
reducing its false positives.

## Test Plan
Existing tests.
## Summary
Support direct uses of `typing.TypeAliasType`, as in:
```py
from typing import TypeAliasType
IntOrStr = TypeAliasType("IntOrStr", int | str)
def f(x: IntOrStr) -> None:
reveal_type(x) # revealed: int | str
```

## Ecosystem
The new false positive here:
```diff
+ error[invalid-type-form] altair/utils/core.py:49:53: The first argument to `Callable` must be either a list of types, ParamSpec, Concatenate, or `...`
```
comes from the fact that we infer the second argument as a type
expression now. We silence false positives for PEP695 `ParamSpec`s, but
not for `P = ParamSpec("P")` inside `Callable[P, ...]`.
