[ty] Add dedicated variant for NominalInstance(object) (#20340)
Previously, `Type::object` would find the definition of the `object`
class in typeshed, load that in (to produce a `ClassLiteral` and
`ClassType`), and then create a `NominalInstance` of that class.

It's possible that we are using a typeshed that doesn't define `object`.
We will not be able to do much useful work with that kind of typeshed,
but it's still a possibility that we have to support at least without
panicking. Previously, we would handle this situation by falling back on
`Unknown`.

In most cases, that's a perfectly fine fallback! But `object` is also
our top type — the type of all values. `Unknown` is _not_ an acceptable
stand-in for the top type.

This PR adds a new `NominalInstance` variant for "instances of
`object`". Unlike other nominal instances, we do not need to load in
`object`'s `ClassType` to instantiate this variant. We will use this new
variant even when the current typeshed does not define an `object`
class, ensuring that we have a fully static representation of our top
type at all times.

There are several operations that need access to a nominal instance's
class, and for this new `object` variant we load it lazily only when
it's needed. That means this operation is now fallible, since this is
where the "typeshed doesn't define `object`" failure shows up.

This new approach also has the benefit of avoiding some salsa cycles
that were cropping up while I was debugging #20093, since the new
constraint set representation was trying to instantiate `Type::object`
while in the middle of processing its definition in typeshed. Cycle
handling was kicking in correctly and returning the `Unknown` fallback
mentioned above. But the constraint set implementation depends on
`Type::object` being a distinct and fully static type, highlighting that
this is a correctness fix, not just an optimization fix.
