Make TypeQuery more general, handling nonboolean queries.

Instead of TypeQuery always returning a boolean and having the strategy be an
enum, the strategy is now a Callable describing how to combine partial results,
and the two default strategies are plain old funcitons.

To preserve the short-circuiting behavior of the previous code, this PR uses an
exception.

This is a pure refactor that I am using in my experimentation regarding fixing
python#1551.  It should result in exactly no
change to current behavior. It's separable from the other things I'm
experimenting with, so I'm filing it as a separate pull request now. It enables
me to rewrite the code that pulls type variables out of types as a TypeQuery.

Consider waiting to merge this PR until I have some code that uses it ready for
review.  Or merge it now, if you think it's a pleasant cleanup instead of an
ugly complication.  I'm of two minds on that particular question.
