Adding type hints so static analyzers like mypy can work with google.cloud

Hi @maroux,

Is this a general request for the google-cloud-* libraries, or do you have a particular library you're interested in?

[maroux]

@busunkim96 well, it applies to all gcloud libraries but in particular I hit this problem with the storage library. I can open an issue with that repo if that's helpful.

Hi @maroux,

If you could also open a issue there that would be great. https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/issues I believe storage is still technically supporting 2.7 so that is probably one blocker.

Done googleapis/python-storage#393

+1. Absence of type hints is making working with these libraries a much less pleasant experience both from the UX perspective (in the IDE) and the productionization perspective (static analysis).

Adding type hints would've prevented a recent bug that I worked on while integrating recaptcha. Any updates if this is something that might be introduced in google-cloud package? Any alternatives that folks suggest?
