[mypy 1.6 regression] Crash involving ParamSpec, TypeAlias and overloads

[AlexWaygood]

Running mypy on this code causes it to crash, and exit without a traceback or error message, if you're using mypy 1.6:

from typing import Callable, Protocol, TypeVar, overload
from typing_extensions import ParamSpec, TypeAlias

_P = ParamSpec("_P")
_R_co = TypeVar("_R_co", covariant=True)
_Handler: TypeAlias = Callable[_P, _R_co]

class _HandlerDecorator(Protocol):
    def __call__(self, handler: _Handler[_P, _R_co]) -> _Handler[_P, _R_co]: ...

@overload
def event(event_handler: _Handler[_P, _R_co]) -> _Handler[_P, _R_co]: ...
@overload
def event(namespace: str, *args, **kwargs) -> _HandlerDecorator: ...

If you use mypy master, it prints a verrrry long traceback to the terminal indicating a RecursionError. Here's a small excerpt from the end of the traceback:

On mypy 1.5.1, mypy had this output when checking this code:

crasher.py:11: error: An overloaded function outside a stub file must have an implementation  [no-overload-impl]
crasher.py:12: error: Overloaded function signatures 1 and 2 overlap with incompatible return types  [misc]
Found 2 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
