## Summary
Add more precise type inference for a limited set of `isinstance(…)`
calls, i.e. return `Literal[True]` if we can be sure that this is the
correct result. This improves exhaustiveness checking / reachability
analysis for if-elif-else chains with `isinstance` checks. For example:
```py
def is_number(x: int | str) -> bool: # no "can implicitly return `None` error here anymore
if isinstance(x, int):
return True
elif isinstance(x, str):
return False
# code here is now detected as being unreachable
```
This PR also adds a new test suite for exhaustiveness checking.
