Python type stub files 📜

[joamag]

Description

With Python 3.6+, there's been primitive support for type hinting. We want to be able to offer this richer type of support through the usage of type hinting.

Implementation

Make use of type stubs to add types to the major entry point functions/methods.

There's already some work done https://github.com/hivesolutions/netius/commit/d0cc0f49d65311e86cd44275021c24f8308e188d.

@joamag just a quick thought - have you had a chance to try out stubgen from MyPy, or perhaps pyright --createstub, for kickstarting the .pyi file creation?

@hugo-gomes interesting, let's run that over part of the codebase and check the quality of the results - it could be a very good starting point
