This is a useful utility to abstract the caching property idiom.
It is in compat.py since eventually it will be replaced by
functools.cached_property.
Fixes#6131.
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.
