Bring over TypeVarTests from CPython (#165)

I started out trying to backport python/cpython#104571, but
realized that it makes sense to backport CPython's whole TypeVarTests
class since we now have our own implementation of TypeVar.

I dropped test_var_substitution and test_bad_var_substitution
since they rely on the internal __typing_subst__ method, and the
type substitution logic is generally very hard to get precisely
the same across versions.
