Introduce type annotations

[lonvia]

Supersedes #59. Now that the minimum requirement is Python 3.6 it is fairly easy to intermingle the type annotations in the code directly.

Please test this against your typed code to make sure the annotations are correct.

@lonvia : Thank you for this change! I am interested to use/test the type annotations in combination with mypy. Do you plan to release this anytime soon (under a new version number) for pypi? That would make it super-easy to include it in my (pet) project.

[lonvia]

A new release is imminent because I have a couple of bugs piled up where fixes need to be published. However, I would be really grateful if you could give it a quick try before the release to test if I haven't broken things.

@lonvia : I tested ee760fa with my current pet project. It uses only SimpleHandler and SimpleWriter. The result is: mypy --strict runs through without issues and the .pbf output is the byte-exact output as in my other setup.

I had an issue building pyosmium. As far as I could understand, it is related to the usage of Python 3.10. I attach my notes from the process, but apart from maybe adjusting your README there is probably not much you can do about it. I used Ubuntu MATE 22.04.1 LTS.
