bpo-31183: `dis` now handles coroutines & async generators (GH-3077)

Coroutines and async generators use a distinct attribute name for their
code objects, so this updates the `dis` module to correctly disassemble
objects with those attributes.

Due to the increase in the test module length, it also fixes some latent
defects in the tests related to how the displayed source line numbers
are extracted.

https://bugs.python.org/issue31230 is a follow-up issue suggesting we
may want to solve this a different way, by instead giving all these object
types a common `__code__` attribute, avoiding the need for special
casing in the `dis` module.
