[issue45100] Improve help() by making typing.overload() information accessible at runtime

I'm OK with not fully supporting overloads created in nested functions; that's a pretty marginal use case. But it's true that my proposed implementation would create a memory leak if someone does do that. I don't immediately see a way to fix that with weakrefs. Maybe we need to put something in the defining namespace, as Raymond suggested.
