This primarily comes up with annotated `self` parameters in
constructors:
```py
class C[T]:
def __init__(self: C[int]): ...
```
Here, we want infer a specialization of `{T = int}` for a call that hits
this overload.
Normally when inferring a specialization of a function call, typevars
appear in the parameter annotations, and not in the argument types. In
this case, this is reversed: we need to verify that the `self` argument
(`C[T]`, as we have not yet completed specialization inference) is
assignable to the parameter type `C[int]`.
To do this, we simply look for a typevar/type in both directions when
performing inference, and apply the inferred specialization to argument
types as well as parameter types before verifying assignability.
As a wrinkle, this exposed that we were not checking
subtyping/assignability for function literals correctly. Our function
literal representation includes an optional specialization that should
be applied to the signature. Before, function literals were considered
subtypes of (assignable to) each other only if they were identical Salsa
objects. Two function literals with different specializations should
still be considered subtypes of (assignable to) each other if those
specializations result in the same function signature (typically because
the function doesn't use the typevars in the specialization).

Function literals have an optional specialization, which is applied to
the parameter/return type annotations lazily when the function's
signature is requested. We were previously only applying this
specialization to the final overload of an overloaded function.
This manifested most visibly for `list.__add__`, which has an overloaded
definition in the typeshed:
b398b83631/crates/ty_vendored/vendor/typeshed/stdlib/builtins.pyi (L1069-L1072)

@AlexWaygood discovered that even though we've been propagating
specializations to _parent_ base classes correctly, we haven't been
passing them on to _grandparent_ base classes:
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17832#issuecomment-2854360969
```py
class Bar[T]:
x: T
class Baz[T](Bar[T]): ...
class Spam[T](Baz[T]): ...
reveal_type(Spam[int]().x) # revealed: `T`, but should be `int`
```
This PR updates the MRO machinery to apply the current specialization
when starting to iterate the MRO of each base class.
If a typevar is declared as having a default, we shouldn't require a
type to be specified for that typevar when explicitly specializing a
generic class:
```py
class WithDefault[T, U = int]: ...
reveal_type(WithDefault[str]()) # revealed: WithDefault[str, int]
```

https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17832#issuecomment-2851224968. We
had a comment that we did not need to apply specializations to generic
aliases, or to the bound `self` of a bound method, because they were
already specialized. But they might be specialized with a type variable,
which _does_ need to be specialized, in the case of a "multi-step"
specialization, such as:
```py
class LinkedList[T]: ...
class C[U]:
def method(self) -> LinkedList[U]:
return LinkedList[U]()
```
