[ty] Infer more precise types for collection literals (#20360)
## Summary

Part of https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/168. Infer more precise types for collection literals (currently, only `list` and `set`). For example,

```py
x = [1, 2, 3] # revealed: list[Unknown | int]
y: list[int] = [1, 2, 3] # revealed: list[int]
```

This could easily be extended to `dict` literals, but I am intentionally limiting scope for now.

Unpacking

If there are not enough or too many values when unpacking, an error will occur and the types of all variables (if nested tuple unpacking fails, only the variables within the failed tuples) is inferred to be Unknown.

Tuple

Simple tuple

(a, b, c) = (1, 2, 3)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: Literal[2]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: Literal[3]

Simple list

[a, b, c] = (1, 2, 3)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: Literal[2]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: Literal[3]

Simple mixed

[a, (b, c), d] = (1, (2, 3), 4)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: Literal[2]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: Literal[3]
reveal_type(d)  # revealed: Literal[4]

Multiple assignment

a, b = c = 1, 2
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: Literal[2]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: tuple[Literal[1], Literal[2]]

Nested tuple with unpacking

(a, (b, c), d) = (1, (2, 3), 4)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: Literal[2]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: Literal[3]
reveal_type(d)  # revealed: Literal[4]

Nested tuple without unpacking

(a, b, c) = (1, (2, 3), 4)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
reveal_type(b)  # revealed: tuple[Literal[2], Literal[3]]
reveal_type(c)  # revealed: Literal[4]

Uneven unpacking (1)

# error: [invalid-assignment] "Not enough values to unpack: Expected 3"
(a, b, c) = (1, 2)
reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Unknown

Uneven unpacking (2)

# error: [invalid-assignment] "Too many values to unpack: Expected 2"
(a, b) = (1, 2, 3)

Nested uneven unpacking (1)

reveal_type(a)  # revealed: Literal[1]
