typing: lock in correct changes from pytype 2023.04.11 -> 2023.06.16

There were a handful of other changes to the pyi files generated when updating
pytype locally (and jumping from python 3.8.0 to python 3.10.11), but they were
not as clear (e.g. the embedded type in a list changing from `nothing` to `Any`
or similar).  These looked obviously correct, and agreed with PyCharm's thoughts
on the signatures.

Oddly, even though pytype starting inferring `obsutil._getfilteredreason()` as
returning bytes, it (correctly) complained about the None path when it was typed
that way.  Instead, raise a ProgrammingError if an unhandled fate is calculated.
(Currently, all possibilities are handled, so this isn't reachable unless
another fate is added in the future.)

in certain conditions:

= Mercurial 6.7.2 =

/!\ This release contains a bug causing possible data loss, use 6.7.4 instead.

Exceptional release following a large performance regression when cloning.

We are setting up automated benchmarks to reduce the likelihood of regressions
of the sort from happening in the future.

 * phases: avoid a potentially costly dictionary interation in some case
 * phases: update the phase set as we go during retract boundary
 * bundle2: make the "hgtagsfnodes" part advisory

= Mercurial 6.7.1 =

/!\ This release contains a bug causing possible data loss, use 6.7.4 instead.

Exceptional release following a crash found in delta code that can be triggered
with complex repository shapes.

 * delta-search: fix crash caused by unbound variable
 * sshpeer: fix path when handling invalid url exception
 * subrepo: fix normalizing paths with scheme

= Mercurial 6.7 =

/!\ This release contains a bug causing possible data loss, use 6.7.4 instead.

As usual, a *lot* of patches don't make it to this list.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

Users of the Rust extensions and/or `rhg` should be aware that the new Rust
index can result in a performance degradation for push/pull on repositories
*not* using `persistent-nodemap` (see `hg help config.format.use-persistent-nodemap`).

If this is something that matters to you, please reach out to us as this is not
an insurmountable obstacle. This is a choice base on the assumption that
there are few people in this situation and our time should be spent on more
pressing matters.
