What's the problem this feature will solve?

Add typing information for parameterized fixtures to have better support for type checkers.

Describe the solution you'd like

Given a fixture like

@pytest.fixture(params=["--setup-only", "--setup-plan", "--setup-show"])
def mode(request):
    return request.param

what is the type of request? I thought it would be FixtureRequest but this class doesn't have a param object. Thus I suggest to add a generic class ParametrizedFixtureRequest[T] where T is the type of the parameter. Thus in the above example one could annotate request: ParametrizedFixtureRequest[str] and then the type checker would know that request.param is a string.
