Specifically, prepare for starring of tuples via a new genericalias iter type. GenericAlias also partially supports the iterator protocol after this change.

Added `__getitem__` for `_CallableGenericAlias` so that it returns a subclass (itself) of `types.GenericAlias` rather than the default behavior of returning a plain `types.GenericAlias`. This fixes `repr` issues occuring after `TypeVar` substitution arising from the previous behavior.
Use `_PyArg_NoKeywords` instead of `_PyArg_NoKwnames` when checking the `kwds` tuple when creating `GenericAlias`. This fixes an interpreter crash when passing in keyword arguments to `GenericAlias`'s constructor.
Needs backport to 3.9.

There are two different `SimpleQueue` types imported (from `multiprocessing.queues` and `queue`) in `Lib/test/test_genericalias.py`, the second one shadowing the first one, making the first one not actually tested. Fix by using different names.

This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
