Fixes #19121 (xarray case)

See #19147 for context

The ordering of the union is still nondeterministic. We could solve this by change the solver to use dict[Type, None instead of set[Type] since dicts are ordered. But doing so could paper over further bad solving from nonassociativity or noncommutativity

According to mypy_primer, this change doesn't affect type check results on a corpus of open source code. ✅

Nice! Making join associative would be the ultimate fix, but it will be a heavy lift due to backward compat. Incrementally making things more deterministic is a good way to deal with this in the shorter term.

I wonder if there is a way to avoid non-deterministic union order altogether, e.g. by not putting types into sets?

Nvm, you mention this in the issue description.
