feat!: annotate types

BREAKING CHANGE: [Developers only]
Type-checked Python code using the XBlock API will likely need to be
updated in order to continue passing type-checking, since XBlock's
new annotations will trigger mypy (et al) to behave much more strictly.

NO BREAKING CHANGES for site operators, authors, learners, etc.
