bpo-44606: Fix __instancecheck__ and __subclasscheck__ for the union type. (GH-27120)

* Fix issubclass() for None.
  E.g. issubclass(type(None), int | None) returns now True.
* Fix issubclass() for virtual subclasses.
  E.g. issubclass(dict, int | collections.abc.Mapping) returns now True.
* Fix crash in isinstance() if the check for one of items raises exception.
