Changes in #3933 and #3966 resulted in removal of TypeAlias as a class exported from the typing module.

#4243 makes TypeAlias available in typing_extensions, but it is defined as a variable as opposed to a class that can be used as a valid type (https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common_issues.html#variables-vs-type-aliases).

Proposing this change to ensure syntax like x: TypeAlias = int as described in PEP 613 is still valid for type checkers.
