## Summary
Previously we held off from doing this because we weren't sure that it
was worth the added complexity cost. But our code has changed in the
months since we made that initial decision, and I think the structure of
the code is such that it no longer really leads to much added complexity
to add precise inference when unpacking a string literal or a bytes
literal.
The improved inference we gain from this has real benefits to users (see
the mypy_primer report), and this PR doesn't appear to have a
performance impact.

## Summary
Add support for `async for` loops and async iterables.

## Ecosystem impact
```diff
- boostedblob/listing.py:445:54: warning[unused-ignore-comment] Unused blanket `type: ignore` directive
```
This is correct. We now find a true positive in the `# type: ignore`'d
code.
All of the other ecosystem hits are of the type
```diff
trio (https://github.com/python-trio/trio)
+ src/trio/_core/_tests/test_guest_mode.py:532:24: error[not-iterable] Object of type `MemorySendChannel[int] | MemoryReceiveChannel[int]` may not be iterable
```
The message is correct, because only `MemoryReceiveChannel` has an
`__aiter__` method, but `MemorySendChannel` does not. What's not correct
is our inferred type here. It should be `MemoryReceiveChannel[int]`, not
the union of the two. This is due to missing unpacking support for tuple
subclasses, which @AlexWaygood is working on. I don't think this should
block merging this PR, because those wrong types are already there,
without this PR.
## Test Plan
New Markdown tests and snapshot tests for diagnostics.
This PR updates our iterator protocol machinery to return a tuple spec
describing the elements that are returned, instead of a type. That
allows us to track heterogeneous iterators more precisely, and
consolidates the logic in unpacking and splatting, which are the two
places where we can take advantage of that more precise information.
(Other iterator consumers, like `for` loops, have to collapse the
iterated elements down to a single type regardless, and we provide a new
helper method on `TupleSpec` to perform that summarization.)
