typing: add `from __future__ import annotations` to most files

Now that py36 is no longer supported, we can postpone annotation evaluation.
This means that the quoting is usually optional (for things imported under the
guard of `if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:` to avoid circular imports), and there's less
overhead on startup[1].

There may be some missing here.  I backed out 6000f5b25c9b (which removed the
`from __future__ import ...` that was supporting py2), reverted the changes in
`contrib/`, `doc/`, and `tests/`, and then ran:

    $ hg status -n --change . | \
        xargs sed -i -e 's/from __future__ import .*$/from __future__ import annotations/'

There were some minor tweaks needed when reviewing (mostly making the spacing
around the import consistent, and `mercurial/testing/__init__.py` had a
multiline import that wasn't fully rewritten.
