Fixes #19492.
In #19695 I tried to add another set of heuristics to
any_constraints, but can't get that working: trying to join/meet all similar constraints together breaks inference in other cases, and only doing that for Any would be somewhat non-trivial. This PR reverts behaviour introduced in #19492 when LHS of the expression containsAny. Outer context is still included in all other cases, and this seems to strike a good balance.
