Incorrect tests for get_type_hints()

Bug report

Bug description:

A few tests for typing.get_type_hints() test behavior that I feel is incorrect. Fixing it may be more trouble than it's worth, but I thought I'd record these.

1. test_get_type_hints_generic

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5236b0281b91a874b14cf15f3fdef9b7beffb22f/Lib/test/test_typing.py#L8765

This tests that the a key for the TypedDict is T | None, where T is the TypeVar of that name defined in test_typing.py. However, the relevant TypedDict field is defined in a separate module _typed_dict_helper that has its own T TypeVar. get_type_hints() should pick up the T from the helper module, not the one from test_typing.

This also affects another assertion in the same function.

2. test_get_type_hints_classes

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5236b0281b91a874b14cf15f3fdef9b7beffb22f/Lib/test/test_typing.py#L6636

This calls get_type_hints() on a class defined like this:

class B(Generic[T]):
    class A(Generic[T]):
        pass

    my_inner_a1: 'B.A'
    my_inner_a2: A
    my_outer_a: 'A'  # unless somebody calls get_type_hints with localns=B.__dict__

It checks that the unquoted A refers to the nested class and the quoted A refers to a different A class in the outer scope. But the fact that the name was quoted shouldn't influence scoping logic; it should resolve to the same name whether or not it's quoted.

I have a change that fixes both of these tests, but I'm not convinced we can afford to change this.

Comece com test_get_type_hints_generic e test_get_type_hints_classes em Lib/test/test_typing.py e, em seguida, inspecione as definições referenciadas em _typed_dict_helper. Execute os testes de typing focados e revise o PR vinculado gh-137230 antes de prosseguir. Considera-se concluído quando as asserções e as expectativas de resolução de nomes refletirem o comportamento pretendido de get_type_hints() e os testes relevantes passarem.
