Issue:
Bug: Optional constrained types do not work
### Description

Hey, I have a model that has a field that is a conlist or a None, in the last version of polyfactories, that stopped working because it is generating the wrong data (it generates a list with 3 lists inside instead of a list with 3 elements). 

### URL to code causing the issue

_No response_

### MCVE

```python
class B(BaseModel):
   field_a: conlist(float, min_length=3, max_length=3) | None 

class A(BaseModel):
   class_b: B
```

### Description
<!--
Please describe your pull request for new release changelog purposes
-->

- Fix the parsing of the constraints from union types for Pydantic v2 models
    - Before there used to be special handling of optional types, but that's not needed since optional types are also unions and so optional types should also be handled the same way as union types where we just ignore `NoneType`. This makes the change the same as that of `FieldMeta.from_type` (as changed in #491).
- Fix the way the annotated types are handled when calling `FieldMeta.from-type` by using the actual type that is annotated rather than `Annotated[type, ...]`
    - Due to the change in `FieldMeta.type_args` in #491, `Annotated[List[str], MinLen(10)]` now returns `List[str]` whereas before it would have returned `str` as the child. This results in the children for the `FieldMeta` corresponding to the annotation `Annotated[List[str], MinLen(10)]` to be `List[str]` instead of `str`. Unwrapping the annotation to get the actual underlying type fixes this problem since now `FieldMeta.type_args` will return `str` in this case instead of `List[str]`.
