[ty] simplify return type of place_from_declarations (#19884)
## Summary

A [passing
comment](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19711#issuecomment-3169312014)
led me to explore why we didn't report a class attribute as possibly
unbound if it was a method and defined in two different conditional
branches.

I found that the reason was because of our handling of "conflicting
declarations" in `place_from_declarations`. It returned a `Result` which
would be `Err` in case of conflicting declarations.

But we only actually care about conflicting declarations when we are
actually doing type inference on that scope and might emit a diagnostic
about it. And in all cases (including that one), we want to otherwise
proceed with the union of the declared types, as if there was no
conflict.

In several cases we were failing to handle the union of declared types
in the same way as a normal declared type if there was a declared-types
conflict. The `Result` return type made this mistake really easy to
make, as we'd match on e.g. `Ok(Place::Type(...))` and do one thing,
then match on `Err(...)` and do another, even though really both of
those cases should be handled the same.

This PR refactors `place_from_declarations` to instead return a struct
which always represents the declared type we should use in the same way,
as well as carrying the conflicting declared types, if any. This struct
has a method to allow us to explicitly ignore the declared-types
conflict (which is what we want in most cases), as well as a method to
get the declared type and the conflict information, in the case where we
want to emit a diagnostic on the conflict.

## Test Plan

Existing CI; added a test showing that we now understand a
multiply-conditionally-defined method as possibly-unbound.

This does trigger issues on a couple new fuzzer seeds, but the issues
are just new instances of an already-known (and rarely occurring)
problem which I already plan to address in a future PR, so I think it's
OK to land as-is.

I happened to build this initially on top of
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19711, which adds invalid-await
diagnostics, so I also updated some invalid-syntax tests to not await on
an invalid type, since the purpose of those tests is to check the
syntactic location of the `await`, not the validity of the awaited type.
