bpo-46571: improve typing.no_type_check to skip foreign objects (GH-31042)

There are several changes:
1. We now don't explicitly check for any base / sub types, because new name check covers it
2. I've also checked that `no_type_check` do not modify foreign functions. It was the same as with `type`s
3. I've also covered `except TypeError` in `no_type_check` with a simple test case, it was not covered at all
4. I also felt like adding `lambda` test is a good idea: because `lambda` is a bit of both in class bodies: a function and an assignment
