typing: declare the `_phasesets` member of `phasecache` to be `Optional`

Something in this area got flagged while making the repository class visible to
pytype (instead of being typed as `Any`).  A None assignment to something not
optional is wrong, and when I tried setting it to `{}` to keep it non-Optional,
some tests failed.  There are checks for the attr being None elsewhere, so this
seems to have just been an oversight.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
