False positive: Various dict-access checks fail when using NewType for Dict[str,str]

[JonathanRohland-TNG]

Bug description

When using a NewType type definition based on Dict[str,str] and using regular dict-access methods, this generates various false positive warnings, e.g. unsupported-assignment-operation, unsubscriptable-object.

Sample code:

from typing import Dict
from typing import NewType

DatasetTags = NewType("DatasetTags", Dict[str,str])

test = DatasetTags({})
test['toast'] = 5
b = test['toast']

Thanks for the report. We could probably close all of the NewType issues as duplicates of #2296. We need astroid to know that NewType callables return instances of the parameter passed in.

Current NewType bugs afaik : #2296, #3162, #4944, #4961
