Adding type hints to dependency-injector

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Now that python typing (type hints) is very common, it would be great that dependency-injector will have type hints / annotations. Currently when using Container / Provider classes mypy complains since it doesn’t have information about a provider returned type, etc.

For example:

provider: Provider[Animal] = providers.Factory(Cat)

animal = provider()  # mypy can know that animal is of type Animal

My current workaround is to put type: ignore in many places but it is less desired since I won’t get errors at type checking time.

Thanks
