bpo-34890: Make iscoroutinefunction, isgeneratorfunction and isasyncgenfunction work with functools.partial (GH-9903)

inspect.isfunction() processes both inspect.isfunction(func) and
inspect.isfunction(partial(func, arg)) correctly but some other functions in the
inspect module (iscoroutinefunction, isgeneratorfunction and isasyncgenfunction)
lack this functionality. This commits adds a new check in the mentioned functions
in the inspect module so they can work correctly with arbitrarily nested partial
functions.
