Closes #16649
It's the first time I am contributing to mypy so I am not very familiar with how it works entirely behind the scene. The issue that I had is that a crash happens when using tuple type comments inside functions/classes that depend on a constrained type variable.
After investigation, the reason is that the type checker generates all possible definitions (since constraints are known) and expands the functions definitions and bodies accordingly. However, by doing so, a tuple type comment ('# type: (int, float)') would have a FakeInfo, so
ExpandTypeVisitor
would fail since it queriest.type.fullname
.By the way, feel free to change where my test should lie.
