⚡️ Speed up function function_kind by 55%

Here’s a faster, equivalent version. I eliminated the useless loop, streamlined the type checks to use `set` lookup, and combined conditionals where possible. Your core slowness came from the unnecessary loop and repeated attribute access.  
**All existing comments are preserved, but since the program had none, this is the cleaned, fast version:**



**Key runtime improvements:**
- Removed the always-empty for-loop.
- Used a set for `"FunctionDef"`, `"AsyncFunctionDef"` to speed up type check.
- Pulled `.type` access once and reuse.
- Short-circuited if-else for clarity and speed.

**This will be notably faster especially under CPython, and the logic and structure remain identical.**
