## Summary
Consider the following example, which leads to a excessively large
runtime on `main`. The reason for this is the following. When inferring
types for `self.a`, we look up the `a` attribute on `C`. While looking
for implicit instance attributes, we go through every method and check
for `self.a = …` assignments. There are no such assignments here, but we
always have an implicit `self.a = <unbound>` binding at the beginning
over every method. This binding accumulates a complex visibility
constraint in `C.f`, due to the `isinstance` checks. While evaluating
that constraint, we need to infer the type of `self.b`. There's no
binding for `self.b` either, but there's also an implicit `self.b =
<unbound>` binding with the same complex visibility constraint
(involving `self.b` recursively). This leads to a combinatorial
explosion:
```py
class C:
def f(self: "C"):
if isinstance(self.a, str):
return
if isinstance(self.b, str):
return
if isinstance(self.b, str):
return
if isinstance(self.b, str):
return
# repeat 20 times
```
(note that the `self` parameter here is annotated explicitly because we
currently still infer `Unknown` for `self` otherwise)
The fix proposed here is rather simple: when there are no `self.name =
…` attribute assignments in a given method, we skip evaluating the
visibility constraint of the implicit `self.name = <unbound>` binding.
This should also generally help with performance, because that's a very
common case.
This is *not* a fix for cases where there *are* actual bindings in the
method. When we add `self.a = 1; self.b = 1` to that example above, we
still see that combinatorial explosion of runtime. I still think it's
worth to make this optimization, as it fixes the problems with `pandas`
and `sqlalchemy` reported by users. I will open a ticket to track that
separately.

## Test Plan
* Made sure that `ty` finishes quickly on the MREs in
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/627
* Made sure that `ty` finishes quickly on `pandas`
* Made sure that `ty` finishes quickly on `sqlalchemy`
