Better handling of Any/object in variadic generics (#18643) Fixes https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/18407 Fixes https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/17184 Fixes https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/16567 There are three things here: * Allow erased variadic callables with non-empty prefix to be supertypes of the non-erased ones. This relaxes a bit callable subtyping in general, but IMO this makes sense, people who want to be strict should simply use `*args: object` instead. An alternative would be to track erased variadic callables explicitly, which is ugly and fragile. * Add important missing case in `subtypes.py` for `*Ts` w.r.t. `Any`/`object` that handles similar situations for variadic instances and tuples (here however there is nothing special about `Any` vs `object`). * I also fix inconsistency in join uncovered by the above two. The changes in `expandtype.py` are no-op, I just noticed potential danger while playing with this, so wanted to highlight it with comments for the future.
