Main accomplishments of this PR, which are easiest to review on a commit by commit basis.

• Adding a new test directive for testing w o docs tests, bc docs tests are slow
• Remove unused config arg for the remaining annotation prep functions
• we already handle the sequence case directly for generic sequences, so do the same for non parametrized ones
• address specific cases with effectively a switch statement in the prep annotations func to avoid unnecessary function calls
• move the get_origin check before the annotations prep to ensure we use a more simple path for types like list[str]

Seeing some performance improvements on the _apply_annotations front :). Looks like a 2.8x speedup in the annotation prep function for known types.

I'm looking for feedback on the above, as well as the fact that there are now 5 failing tests related to the fact that we now fail to raise annotation application errors, similar to #9977 (comment).

I would like to address this in a separate PR as mentioned in my comment above. If you agree @adrian, I can mark these tests as xfail as well.
