Fix CMR-related type hints (#510)

There were a number of type hints in `search.py` and `api.py` related to
CMR queries that were incorrect. These were fixed. In addition, there
were a number of other static type errors that were masked because of
ignored `cmr` imports. Added type stubs for `python_cmr` library to
unmask and address these additional type errors.

In addition:

- Aligned vcrpy usage with VCRTestCase as per
  https://vcrpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#unittest-integration
- Restored use of session for CMR paged queries, which was accidentally
  removed with the introduction of Search-After functionality.
- Wrapped a number of docstrings at 88 characters per ruff configuration

Fixes #508
