This PR carries over some of the
has_relation_tologic for comparing a typevar with itself. A typevar will specialize to the same type if it's mentioned multiple times, so it is always assignable to and a subtype of itself. (Note that typevars can only specialize to fully static types.) This is also true when the typevar appears in a union on the right-hand side, or in an intersection on the left-hand side. Similarly, a typevar is always disjoint from its negation, so when a negated typevar appears on the left-hand side, the constraint set is never satisfiable.(Eventually this will allow us to remove the corresponding clauses from
has_relation_to, but that can't happen until more of #20093 lands.)
