Finding the module path for where a given class or function is defined is
functionality used in a few places across the Django codebase. Whilst in
the majority of cases, `f"{val.__module__}.{val.__qualname__}"` is enough,
there are some cases it's not.
As part of #35859, a few more cases of this pattern are being added to the
codebase. I think we're now at the [point
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(computer_programming)] where
it makes sense to extract this out to a helper function somewhere in
`django.utils`. The implementation in
`django.migrations.serializer.TypeSerializer` seems to be the most robust,
however will want some more thorough testing based on different input
types.
