We now correctly exclude legacy typevars from enclosing scopes when
constructing the generic context for a generic function.
more detail:
A function is generic if it refers to legacy typevars in its signature:
```py
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
def f(t: T) -> T:
return t
```
Generic functions are allowed to appear inside of other generic
contexts. When they do, they can refer to the typevars of those
enclosing generic contexts, and that should not rebind the typevar:
```py
from typing import TypeVar, Generic
T = TypeVar("T")
U = TypeVar("U")
class C(Generic[T]):
@staticmethod
def method(t: T, u: U) -> None: ...
# revealed: def method(t: int, u: U) -> None
reveal_type(C[int].method)
```
This substitution was already being performed correctly, but we were
also still including the enclosing legacy typevars in the method's own
generic context, which can be seen via `ty_extensions.generic_context`
(which has been updated to work on generic functions and methods):
```py
from ty_extensions import generic_context
# before: tuple[T, U]
# after: tuple[U]
reveal_type(generic_context(C[int].method))
```

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).
