Update astroid to 2.11.1

[pyup-bot]

This PR updates astroid from 2.3.3 to 2.11.1.

Changelog

2.11.1

=============================
Release date: 2022-03-22

* Promoted ``getattr()`` from ``astroid.scoped_nodes.FunctionDef`` to its parent
``astroid.scoped_nodes.Lambda``.

* Fixed crash on direct inference via ``nodes.FunctionDef._infer``.

Closes 817

2.11.0

=============================
Release date: 2022-03-12

* Add new (optional) ``doc_node`` attribute to ``nodes.Module``, ``nodes.ClassDef``,
and ``nodes.FunctionDef``.

* Accessing the ``doc`` attribute of ``nodes.Module``, ``nodes.ClassDef``, and
``nodes.FunctionDef`` has been deprecated in favour of the ``doc_node`` attribute.
Note: ``doc_node`` is an (optional) ``nodes.Const`` whereas ``doc`` was an (optional) ``str``.

* Passing the ``doc`` argument to the ``__init__`` of ``nodes.Module``, ``nodes.ClassDef``,
and ``nodes.FunctionDef`` has been deprecated in favour of the ``postinit`` ``doc_node`` attribute.
Note: ``doc_node`` is an (optional) ``nodes.Const`` whereas ``doc`` was an (optional) ``str``.

* Replace custom ``cachedproperty`` with ``functools.cached_property`` and deprecate it
for Python 3.8+.

Closes 1410

* Set ``end_lineno`` and ``end_col_offset`` attributes to ``None`` for all nodes
with PyPy 3.8. PyPy 3.8 assigns these attributes inconsistently which could lead
to unexpected errors. Overwriting them with ``None`` will cause a fallback
to the already supported way of PyPy 3.7.

* Add missing ``shape`` parameter to numpy ``zeros_like``, ``ones_like``,
and ``full_like`` methods.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5871

* Only pin ``wrapt`` on the major version.

2.10.0

=============================
Release date: 2022-02-27


* Fixed inference of ``self`` in binary operations in which ``self``
is part of a list or tuple.

Closes PyCQA/pylint4826

* Fixed builtin inference on `property` calls not calling the `postinit` of the new node, which
resulted in instance arguments missing on these nodes.

* Fixed a crash on ``Super.getattr`` when the attribute was previously uninferable due to a cache
limit size. This limit can be hit when the inheritance pattern of a class (and therefore of the
``__init__`` attribute) is very large.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5679

* Inlcude names of keyword-only arguments in ``astroid.scoped_nodes.Lambda.argnames``.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5771

* Fixed a crash inferring on a ``NewType`` named with an f-string.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5770

* Add support for [attrs v21.3.0](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/releases/tag/21.3.0) which
added a new `attrs` module alongside the existing `attr`.

Closes 1330

* Use the ``end_lineno`` attribute for the ``NodeNG.tolineno`` property
when it is available.

Closes 1350

* Add ``is_dataclass`` attribute to ``ClassDef`` nodes.

* Use ``sysconfig`` instead of ``distutils`` to determine the location of
python stdlib files and packages.

Closes 1282
Ref 1103

* Fixed crash with recursion error for inference of class attributes that referenced
the class itself.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5408

* Fixed crash when trying to infer ``items()`` on the ``__dict__``
attribute of an imported module.

Closes 1085

* Add optional ``NodeNG.position`` attribute.
Used for block nodes to highlight position of keyword(s) and name
in cases where the AST doesn't provide good enough positional information.
E.g. ``nodes.ClassDef``, ``nodes.FunctionDef``.

* Fix ``ClassDef.fromlineno``. For Python < 3.8 the ``lineno`` attribute includes decorators.
``fromlineno`` should return the line of the ``class`` statement itself.

* Performance improvements. Only run expensive decorator functions when
non-default Deprecation warnings are enabled, eg. during a Pytest run.

Closes 1383

2.9.3

============================
Release date: 2022-01-09

* Fixed regression where packages without a ``__init__.py`` file were
not recognized or imported correctly.

Closes 1327

2.9.2

============================
Release date: 2022-01-04

* Fixed regression in ``astroid.scoped_nodes`` where ``_is_metaclass``
was not accessible anymore.

Closes 1325

2.9.1

============================
Release date: 2021-12-31

* ``NodeNG.frame()`` and ``NodeNG.statement()`` will start raising ``ParentMissingError``
instead of ``AttributeError`` in astroid 3.0. This behaviour can already be triggered
by passing ``future=True`` to a ``frame()`` or ``statement()`` call.

* Prefer the module loader get_source() method in AstroidBuilder's
module_build() when possible to avoid assumptions about source
code being available on a filesystem.  Otherwise the source cannot
be found and application behavior changes when running within an
embedded hermetic interpreter environment (pyoxidizer, etc.).

* Require Python 3.6.2 to use astroid.

* Removed custom ``distutils`` handling for resolving paths to submodules.

Ref 1321

* Restore custom ``distutils`` handling for resolving paths to submodules.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5645

* Fix ``deque.insert()`` signature in ``collections`` brain.

Closes 1260

* Fix ``Module`` nodes not having a ``col_offset``, ``end_lineno``, and ``end_col_offset``
attributes.

* Fix typing and update explanation for ``Arguments.args`` being ``None``.

* Fix crash if a variable named ``type`` is accessed with an index operator (``[]``)
in a generator expression.

Closes PyCQA/pylint5461

* Enable inference of dataclass import from marshmallow_dataclass.
This allows the dataclasses brain to recognize dataclasses annotated by marshmallow_dataclass.

* Resolve symlinks in the import path
Fixes inference error when the import path includes symlinks (e.g. Python
installed on macOS via Homebrew).

methods now correctly point to the outer-scope of the ``FunctionDef``,
``ClassDef``, or ``Comprehension``.

* Fix the ``set_local`` function for ``NamedExpr`` nodes.
When these nodes occur in ``Arguments``, ``Keyword``, or ``Comprehension`` nodes these
nodes are now correctly added to the locals of the ``FunctionDef``,
``ClassDef``, or ``Comprehension``.

suited for pylint. Import them from ``pylint.checkers.utils`` instead
(requires pylint ``2.12``).

* Suppress the conditional between applied brains and dynamic import authorized
modules. (Revert the "The transforms related to a module are applied only if this

Checkers that already support Python 3.8+ work without issues. It's only
necessary to remove all references to the ``astroid.Ellipsis`` node.
This changes will make development of checkers easier as the resulting tree for Ellipsis
will no longer depend on the python version. **Background**: With Python 3.8 the
``ast.Ellipsis`` node, along with ``ast.Str``, ``ast.Bytes``, ``ast.Num``,
and ``ast.NamedConstant`` were merged into ``ast.Constant``.

* Deprecated ``Index`` and ``ExtSlice`` nodes. They will be removed with the

Checkers that already support Python 3.9+ work without issues.
It's only necessary to remove all references to the ``astroid.Index`` and
``astroid.ExtSlice`` nodes. This change will make development of checkers
easier as the resulting tree for ``ast.Subscript`` nodes will no longer
depend on the python version. **Background**: With Python 3.9 ``ast.Index``
and ``ast.ExtSlice`` were merged into the ``ast.Subscript`` node.

Close 199

* Do not infer the first argument of a staticmethod in a metaclass as the class itself

Close PyCQA/pylint3032

* ``NodeNG.bool_value()`` gained an optional ``context`` parameter

We need to pass an inference context downstream when inferring the boolean
value of a node in order to prevent recursion errors and double inference.

This fix prevents a recursion error with dask library.

* Pass a context argument to ``astroid.Arguments`` to prevent recursion errors

Close PyCQA/pylint3414

* Better inference of class and static methods decorated with custom methods

Close PyCQA/pylint3209

* Reverse the order of decorators for `infer_subscript`

`path_wrapper` needs to come first, followed by `raise_if_nothing_inferred`,
otherwise we won't handle `StopIteration` correctly.

* Prevent a recursion error when inferring self-referential variables without definition

Close PyCQA/pylint1285

* Numpy `datetime64.astype` return value is inferred as a `ndarray`.

Close PyCQA/pylint3332

* Skip non ``Assign`` and ``AnnAssign`` nodes from enum reinterpretation

Closes PyCQA/pylint3365

* Numpy ``ndarray`` attributes ``imag`` and ``real`` are now inferred as ``ndarray``.

Close PyCQA/pylint3322

* Added a call to ``register_transform`` for all functions of the ``brain_numpy_core_multiarray``
module in case the current node is an instance of ``astroid.Name``

Close 666

* Use the parent of the node when inferring aug assign nodes instead of the statement

Close PyCQA/pylint2911
Close PyCQA/pylint3214

* Added some functions to the ``brain_numpy_core_umath`` module

Close PyCQA/pylint3319

* Added some functions of the ``numpy.core.multiarray`` module

Close PyCQA/pylint3208

* All the ``numpy ufunc`` functions derived now from a common class that
implements the specific ``reduce``, ``accumulate``, ``reduceat``,
``outer`` and ``at`` methods.

Close PyCQA/pylint2885

* ``nodes.Const.itered`` returns a list of ``Const`` nodes, not strings

Close PyCQA/pylint3306

* The ``shape`` attribute of a ``numpy ndarray`` is now a ``ndarray``

Close PyCQA/pylint3139

* Don't ignore special methods when inspecting gi classes

Close 728

* Added transform for ``scipy.gaussian``

* Add support for inferring properties.

* Added a brain for ``responses``

* Allow inferring positional only arguments.

* Retry parsing a module that has invalid type comments

It is possible for a module to use comments that might be interpreted
as type comments by the `ast` library. We do not want to completely crash on those
invalid type comments.

* Scope the inference to the current bound node when inferring instances of classes

When inferring instances of classes from arguments, such as ``self``
in a bound method, we could use as a hint the context's ``boundnode``,
which indicates the instance from which the inference originated.
As an example, a subclass that uses a parent's method which returns
``self``, will override the ``self`` to point to it instead of pointing
to the parent class.

Close PyCQA/pylint3157

* Add support for inferring exception instances in all contexts

We were able to infer exception instances as ``ExceptionInstance``
only for a handful of cases, but not all. ``ExceptionInstance`` has
support for better inference of `.args` and other exception related
attributes that normal instances do not have.
This additional support should remove certain false positives related
to ``.args`` and other exception attributes in ``pylint``.

Close PyCQA/pylint2333

* Add more supported parameters to ``subprocess.check_output``

Close 722

* Infer args unpacking of ``self``

Certain stdlib modules use ``*args`` to encapsulate
the ``self`` parameter, which results in uninferable
instances given we rely on the presence of the ``self``
argument to figure out the instance where we should be
setting attributes.

Close PyCQA/pylint3216

* Clean up setup.py

Make pytest-runner a requirement only if running tests, similar to what was
done with McCabe.

Clean up the setup.py file, resolving a handful of minor warnings with it.

* Handle StopIteration error in infer_int.

Close PyCQA/pylint3274

* Can access per argument type comments for positional only and keyword only arguments.

The comments are accessed through through the new
``Arguments.type_comment_posonlyargs`` and
``Arguments.type_comment_kwonlyargs`` attributes respectively.

* Relax upper bound on `wrapt`

Close 755

* Properly analyze CFFI compiled extensions.
