Change our mypy configuration to disallow untyped defs by default, which ensures *new* files added to the code base are fully typed.
To avoid having to type-annotate everything now, add `# mypy: allow-untyped-defs` to files which are not fully type annotated yet.
As we fully type annotate those modules, we can then just remove that directive from the top.
Add a very lax mypy configuration, add it to tox -e linting, and
fix/ignore the few errors that come up. The idea is to get it running
before diving in too much.
This enables:
- Progressively adding type annotations and enabling more strict
options, which will improve the codebase (IMO).
- Annotating the public API in-line, and eventually exposing it to
library users who use type checkers (with a py.typed file).
Though, none of this is done yet.
