Implemented some points from
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/12701
- Handle Unknown and Any in Unary operation
- Handle Boolean in binary operations
- Handle instances in unary operation
- Consider division by False to be division by zero

## Summary
This fixes an edge case that @carljm and I missed when implementing
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/13800. Namely, if the left-hand
operand is the _exact same type_ as the right-hand operand, the
reflected dunder on the right-hand operand is never tried:
```pycon
>>> class Foo:
... def __radd__(self, other):
... return 42
...
>>> Foo() + Foo()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-1>", line 1, in <module>
Foo() + Foo()
~~~~~~^~~~~~~
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'Foo' and 'Foo'
```
This edge case _is_ covered in Brett's blog at
https://snarky.ca/unravelling-binary-arithmetic-operations-in-python/,
but I missed it amongst all the other subtleties of this algorithm. The
motivations and history behind it were discussed in
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/7NZUCODEAPQFMRFXYRMGJXDSIS3WJYIV/
## Test Plan
I added an mdtest for this cornercase.
Minor cleanup and consistent formatting of the Markdown-based tests.
- Removed lots of unnecessary `a`, `b`, `c`, … variables.
- Moved test assertions (`# revealed:` comments) closer to the tested
object.
- Always separate `# revealed` and `# error` comments from the code by
two spaces, according to the discussion
[here](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/13746/files#r1799385758).
This trades readability for consistency in some cases.
- Fixed some headings
This reverts https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/13799, and restores
the previous behavior, which I think was the most pragmatic and useful
version of the divide-by-zero error, if we will emit it at all.
In general, a type checker _does_ emit diagnostics when it can detect
something that will definitely be a problem for some inhabitants of a
type, but not others. For example, `x.foo` if `x` is typed as `object`
is a type error, even though some inhabitants of the type `object` will
have a `foo` attribute! The correct fix is to make your type annotations
more precise, so that `x` is assigned a type which definitely has the
`foo` attribute.
If we will emit it divide-by-zero errors, it should follow the same
logic. Dividing an inhabitant of the type `int` by zero may not emit an
error, if the inhabitant is an instance of a subclass of `builtins.int`
that overrides division. But it may emit an error (more likely it will).
If you don't want the diagnostic, you can clarify your type annotations
to require an instance of your safe subclass.
Because the Python type system doesn't have the ability to explicitly
reflect the fact that divide-by-zero is an error in type annotations
(e.g. for `int.__truediv__`), or conversely to declare a type as safe
from divide-by-zero, or include a "nonzero integer" type which it is
always safe to divide by, the analogy doesn't fully apply. You can't
explicitly mark your subclass of `int` as safe from divide-by-zero, we
just semi-arbitrarily choose to silence the diagnostic for subclasses,
to avoid false positives.
Also, if we fully followed the above logic, we'd have to error on every
`int / int` because the RHS `int` might be zero! But this would likely
cause too many false positives, because of the lack of a "nonzero
integer" type.
So this is just a pragmatic choice to emit the diagnostic when it is
very likely to be an error. It's unclear how useful this diagnostic is
in practice, but this version of it is at least very unlikely to cause
harm.
If the LHS is just `int` or `float` type, that type includes custom
subclasses which can arbitrarily override division behavior, so we
shouldn't emit a divide-by-zero error in those cases.
