## Summary
Add support for generic PEP 613 type aliases and generic implicit type
aliases:
```py
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
ListOrSet = list[T] | set[T]
def _(xs: ListOrSet[int]):
reveal_type(xs) # list[int] | set[int]
```

```
One of these should apparently be an error, but not of this kind, so
this is good ✔️
```diff
-specialtypes_type.py:152:16: error[invalid-type-form] `typing.TypeVar` is not a generic class
-specialtypes_type.py:156:16: error[invalid-type-form] `typing.TypeVar` is not a generic class
```
Good, those were false positives. ✔️
I skipped the analysis for everything involving `TypeVarTuple`.
## Ecosystem impact
**[Full report with detailed
diff](https://david-generic-implicit-alias.ecosystem-663.pages.dev/diff)**
Previous iterations of this PR showed all kinds of problems. In it's
current state, I do not see any large systematic problems, but it is
hard to tell with 5k diagnostic changes.
## Performance
* There is a huge 4x regression in `colour-science/colour`, related to
[this large
file](https://github.com/colour-science/colour/blob/develop/colour/io/luts/tests/test_lut.py)
with [many assignments of hard-coded arrays (lists of lists) to
`np.NDArray`
types](
