Summary

When unpacking a "mixed tuple" like tuple[I0, *tuple[I1, ...], I2] with a starred expression (e.g., [a, b, *c] = x), ty incorrectly inferred I1 for b instead of I1 | I2. The variable-length part can materialize to 0 elements, causing I2 to shift into the b position, so the correct type is the union I1 | I2.

Closes: astral-sh/ty#947.

## Summary

When unpacking a "mixed tuple" like `tuple[I0, *tuple[I1, ...], I2]`
with a starred expression (e.g., `[a, b, *c] = x`), ty incorrectly
inferred `I1` for `b` instead of `I1 | I2`. The variable-length part can
materialize to 0 elements, causing `I2` to shift into the `b` position,
so the correct type is the union `I1 | I2`.
