[PATCH v2 00/16] python: add mypy support to python/qemu

[John Snow]

Requires: 20200602194844.15258-1-jsnow@redhat.com

This series is extracted from my larger series that attempted to bundle
our python module as an installable module. These fixes don't require that,
so they are being sent first as I think there's less up for debate in here.

This requires my "refactor shutdown" patch as a pre-requisite.

"v2":
- This version supports iotests 297
- Many patches merged by Phil are removed
- Replaces iotests.py type aliases with centralized ones
  (See patch 2)
- Imports etc are reworked to use the non-installable
  package layout instead. (Mostly important for patch 3)

Testing this out:
- You'll need Python3.6+
- I encourage you to use a virtual environment!
- You don't necessarily need these exact versions, but I didn't test the
  lower bounds, use older versions at your peril:
  - pylint==2.5.0
  - mypy=0.770
  - flake8=3.7.8

> cd ~/src/qemu/python/
> flake8 qemu
> mypy --strict qemu
> cd qemu
> pylint *.py

These should all 100% pass.
