Dex Devlon e15f88ff21 [ty] Fix contravariant type variable bound checking in specialization inference (#22488)
## Summary

Correctly handle upper bounds for contravariant type variables during
specialization inference. Previously, the type checker incorrectly
applied covariant subtyping rules, requiring the actual type to directly
satisfy the bound rather than checking for a valid intersection.

In contravariant positions, subtyping relationships are inverted. The
bug caused valid code like `f(x: Contra[str])` where `f` expects
`Contra[T: int]` to be incorrectly rejected, when it should solve `T` to
`Never` (the intersection of `int` and `str`).

Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/2427

## Details

- Added `is_contravariant()` helper to `TypeVarVariance` in
`variance.rs`
- Updated `SpecializationBuilder::infer_map_impl` in `generics.rs` to
treat bounds and constraints differently based on variance:
  * Skip immediate `ty <: bound` check for contravariant upper bounds
* Flip constraint check to `constraint <: ty` for contravariant
positions
- Added test case for bounded contravariant type variables in
`variance.md`
- All 308 mdtest cases pass & 150 ty_python_semantic unit tests pass

Markdown files within the mdtest/ subdirectory are tests of type inference and type checking; executed by the tests/mdtest.rs integration test.

See crates/ty_test/README.md for documentation of this test format.
