feat(py_lsp): with-as, except-as, tuple unpack, slice, container TypeVar special-cases — bench 100%

Round 8. Stress test suite (test_py_lsp_stress.c) added with 22 advanced
patterns; bench fixture grew to 178 lines covering the full surface.

with-as binding via __enter__:
- Look up __enter__ on the context manager's NAMED type. Use its
  return type when known; fall back to the manager type itself
  (matches the practical case where __enter__ returns self). Handles
  tree-sitter Python's wrapping of `X as y` in an as_pattern node
  inside with_item, plus the flat field-only shape.

except-as binding:
- Bind exception alias to the caught type. Resolves through
  except_clause's as_pattern wrapper and the as_pattern_target
  identifier wrapper.

Tuple unpacking:
- Both `a, b = f()` and `for k, v in d.items()` destructure the RHS
  element-by-element when the rhs is TUPLE or TEMPLATE("tuple", ...).
  *rest binds the trailing slice as list[elem]. Shared helper
  py_bind_for_target used by for-statement, comprehension for_in_clause,
  and assignment LHS.

Slice subscript:
- `lst[1:3]` returns the same TEMPLATE container — list[T][1:3] is
  list[T], dict[K, V][1:3] is dict[K, V] (rare but consistent).

Container TypeVar substitution:
- Without a constraint solver we can't generally substitute K, V into
  registered method return types. Hand-rolled the most-impactful
  cases: dict.items/keys/values/get/pop/copy, list.copy/__iter__/pop,
  set.copy. These return properly parameterized ItemsView[K, V] /
  KeysView[K] / ValuesView[V] / Optional[V] / etc. so subsequent
  iteration and unpacking yield typed elements.

ItemsView / KeysView / ValuesView / dict_items / dict_keys / dict_values
added to py_iterable_element_type. ItemsView[K, V] iterates as
tuple[K, V], unpacked correctly by py_bind_for_target.

Bench: 178 LOC, 52 calls, **52 resolved (100%)**, 11.59 ms (ASan + UBSan).

22 new stress tests, 8 of 10 documented gaps closed in this round.
Remaining gaps documented inline (typeddict_subscript, post-early-return
narrowing, function-as-dict-value, match sequence pattern, lambda
inference). All 2898 prior tests stay green; total 2920 / 0.
