Introduce type checking to codebase

[nijel]

Weblate now requires Python 3.6, so it's now possible to use type hints and introduce type checking to our CI.

My experience with this is exactly zero and our code base is huge, so getting some experienced help with this is welcome.

This is now a work in progress and is expected to take some time.

• There is mypy extra dependency to install type checking depedencies
• We now have CI job running mypy (ignoring the failures for now)
• Parts of the code base have been annotated
• There are still 400+ errors reported by mypy, most of these come from lack of annotations in Weblate or third-party (things like (ManagerClass).from_queryset is not creating a valid base class typeddjango/django-stubs#2224 or Infer type for Form.fields typeddjango/django-stubs#1514).

Any contribution to this is welcome, just pick one file and enhance it! There is no desire to do everything at once.
