mypy resolves symbol incorrectly with builtins import cycle #11535

Description

Context: python/typeshed#6289

To reproduce:

  1. check out typeshed
  2. git checkout 9eabedca5f47a710f29d6e3e2b3a389853fab5aa
  3. apply this patch
diff --git a/stdlib/builtins.pyi b/stdlib/builtins.pyi
index 2393f3c9..0d2ea882 100644

     def __getnewargs__(self) -> tuple[int]: ...
 
+@final
 class slice(object):
     start: Any
     step: Any

Then run:

mypy --python-version 3.10 --no-incremental --custom-typeshed-dir . stdlib/_ast.pyi stdlib/ast.pyi 

and note that mypy incorrectly resolves slice to builtins.slice instead of ast.slice in ast.pyi

Note that if you change the order of files, it works just fine:

mypy --python-version 3.10 --no-incremental --custom-typeshed-dir . stdlib/ast.pyi stdlib/_ast.pyi 

It's a pretty weird case, import cycle with builtins, collision with name in builtins, from _ast import * in ast.pyi, etc. But a scary kind of bug :-)
