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.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
