Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix ternary type narrowing in assert and truthy contexts

- Generalized ternary handler in TypeSpecifier to handle all truthy contexts, not just the `$cond ? $expr : false` special case
- Converts `$cond ? $a : $b` to equivalent `($cond && $a) || (!$cond && $b)` so existing BooleanOr/BooleanAnd narrowing logic applies
- New regression test in tests/PHPStan/Analyser/nsrt/bug-14100.php covering instanceof, is_string/is_int, nested ternaries, and short ternary syntax
- Root cause: the ternary handler required `$scope->getType($expr->else)->isFalse()->yes()` which excluded any ternary where the else branch wasn't literally `false`

Closes https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan/issues/14100

+### Ternary expression type narrowing in TypeSpecifier
+
+`TypeSpecifier::specifyTypesInCondition()` handles ternary expressions (`$cond ? $a : $b`) for type narrowing. In a truthy context (e.g., inside `assert()`), the ternary is semantically equivalent to `($cond && $a) || (!$cond && $b)` — meaning if the condition is true, the "if" branch must be truthy, and if false, the "else" branch must be truthy. The fix converts ternary expressions to this `BooleanOr(BooleanAnd(...), BooleanAnd(...))` form so the existing OR/AND narrowing logic handles both branches correctly. This enables `assert($cond ? $x instanceof A : $x instanceof B)` to narrow `$x` to `A|B`. The `AssertFunctionTypeSpecifyingExtension` calls `specifyTypesInCondition` with `TypeSpecifierContext::createTruthy()` context for the assert argument.
