fixes #22936
This pull request improves the compiler's handling of generic type
constraints, specifically for subtypes of generics, and adds a test to
cover this behavior. The main changes are an enhancement to the type
relationship logic in the compiler and a new test case for generic
subtyping with `Future`.
### Compiler improvements for generic subtyping
* Updated `typeRel` in `compiler/sigmatch.nim` to allow generic
constraints (like `F: Future`) to accept not just direct instantiations
but also descendants of the generic family, ensuring more flexible and
correct overload resolution. Inheritance depth is now considered for
overload ranking, making deeper descendants slightly less preferred,
consistent with other inheritance-based matches.
### New test coverage
* Added a test in `tests/typerel/t8905.nim` to verify that generic
constraints correctly accept subtypes of `Future`, including a custom
`B[T, E] = ref object of Future[T]` type, and that overloads like
`take`, `takeMany`, and the macro `checkFutures` work as expected with
these types.
