Initial fixes for Python 3.14

[cdce8p]

Tested against 3.14.0b1 locally. We might still need to adjust some things as more pre-release versions come out but this provides a good starting point in combination with #2731.

Relevant changes for Python 3.14

• typing.ByteString and collections.abc.ByteString were removed
  https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/typing.html#typing.ByteString
• The inference for pathlib parents changed back to pathlib._PathParents
• typing.Union was implemented in C and types.UnionType is now an alias for typing.Union
  gh-105499: Merge typing.Union and types.UnionType python/cpython#105511
  In theory we could think about renaming the UnionType class or at least think about if we want to change the pytype attribute
  

  astroid/astroid/bases.py

  Lines 738 to 742 in 5937f3d

  	class UnionType(BaseInstance):
  	"""Special node representing new style typing unions.
  	Proxied class is set once for all in raw_building.
  	"""

  
  

  astroid/astroid/bases.py

  Lines 761 to 762 in 5937f3d

  	def pytype(self) -> Literal["types.UnionType"]:
  	return "types.UnionType"

The backport to maintenance/3.3.x failed:

The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1

To backport manually, run these commands in your terminal:

# Fetch latest updates from GitHub
git fetch
# Create a new working tree
git worktree add .worktrees/backport-maintenance/3.3.x maintenance/3.3.x
# Navigate to the new working tree
cd .worktrees/backport-maintenance/3.3.x
# Create a new branch
git switch --create backport-2747-to-maintenance/3.3.x
# Cherry-pick the merged commit of this pull request and resolve the conflicts
git cherry-pick -x --mainline 1 43111bb4e2b8ae618168a449dcabcd40d19e5c3a
# Push it to GitHub
git push --set-upstream origin backport-2747-to-maintenance/3.3.x
# Go back to the original working tree
cd ../..
# Delete the working tree
git worktree remove .worktrees/backport-maintenance/3.3.x

Then, create a pull request where the base branch is maintenance/3.3.x and the compare/head branch is backport-2747-to-maintenance/3.3.x.
