Summary

I thought this might warrant a small blog-style writeup, especially
since we already got a question about it (#19966), but I'm happy to
switch back to a one-liner under `### Other changes` if preferred.
I'll copy whatever we add here to the release notes too.
Do we need a note at the top about the late addition?
`Type::TypeVar` now distinguishes whether the typevar in question is
inferable or not.
A typevar is _not inferable_ inside the body of the generic class or
function that binds it:
```py
def f[T](t: T) -> T:
return t
```
The infered type of `t` in the function body is `TypeVar(T,
NotInferable)`. This represents how e.g. assignability checks need to be
valid for all possible specializations of the typevar. Most of the
existing assignability/etc logic only applies to non-inferable typevars.
Outside of the function body, the typevar is _inferable_:
```py
f(4)
```
Here, the parameter type of `f` is `TypeVar(T, Inferable)`. This
represents how e.g. assignability doesn't need to hold for _all_
specializations; instead, we need to find the constraints under which
this specific assignability check holds.
This is in support of starting to perform specialization inference _as
part of_ performing the assignability check at the call site.
In the [[POPL2015][]] paper, this concept is called _monomorphic_ /
_polymorphic_, but I thought _non-inferable_ / _inferable_ would be
clearer for us.

## Summary
As part of #19849, I noticed this fix could be implemented.
## Test Plan
Tests added based on CPython behaviour.
## Summary
This PR adds a new lint, `invalid-await`, for all sorts of reasons why
an object may not be `await`able, as discussed in astral-sh/ty#919.
Precisely, `__await__` is guarded against being missing, possibly
unbound, or improperly defined (expects additional arguments or doesn't
return an iterator).
Of course, diagnostics need to be fine-tuned. If `__await__` cannot be
called with no extra arguments, it indicates an error (or a quirk?) in
the method signature, not at the call site. Without any doubt, such an
object is not `Awaitable`, but I feel like talking about arguments for
an *implicit* call is a bit leaky.
I didn't reference any actual diagnostic messages in the lint
definition, because I want to hear feedback first.
Also, there's no mention of the actual required method signature for
`__await__` anywhere in the docs. The only reference I had is the
`typing` stub. I basically ended up linking `[Awaitable]` to ["must
implement
`__await__`"](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections.abc.Awaitable),
which is insufficient on its own.
## Test Plan
The following code was tested:
```python
import asyncio
import typing
class Awaitable:
def __await__(self) -> typing.Generator[typing.Any, None, int]:
yield None
return 5
class NoDunderMethod:
pass
class InvalidAwaitArgs:
def __await__(self, value: int) -> int:
return value
class InvalidAwaitReturn:
def __await__(self) -> int:
return 5
class InvalidAwaitReturnImplicit:
def __await__(self):
pass
async def main() -> None:
result = await Awaitable() # valid
result = await NoDunderMethod() # `__await__` is missing
result = await InvalidAwaitReturn() # `__await__` returns `int`, which is not a valid iterator
result = await InvalidAwaitArgs() # `__await__` expects additional arguments and cannot be called implicitly
result = await InvalidAwaitReturnImplicit() # `__await__` returns `Unknown`, which is not a valid iterator
asyncio.run(main())
```
