Never is handled in addition to NoReturn.
Give priority to the explicit --never-returning-functions option.

Description

Closes #7565

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Hey thank you for taking over @antoniogamizbadger ! I feel like we lack some functional tests. (Shouldn't there be a Never used somewhere ?) That could be taken from the example in the original issue directly. Also the tests are not passing in the CI right now. When a message is expected in functional tests it's indicated with # [message-name] styile comment.

@antoniogamizbadger Would you like to continue working on this?

@antoniogamizbadger Thanks for the contribution!

(Shouldn't there be a Never used somewhere ?)

This is covered by the call to assert_never(), which is annotated to return Never. Reverting that part of the patch causes a test failure, so it's covered.

Coverage decrease is from moving existing uncovered lines around.
