pytype: ignore some signature mismatch in registrar

pytype is grumpy about a sub method having a different signature than the one we
use here.

pytype error:

  internalmerge: Overriding method signature mismatch [signature-mismatch]
    Base signature: 'def _funcregistrarbase._extrasetup(self, name, func) -> Any'.
    Subclass signature: 'def internalmerge._extrasetup(self, name, func, mergetype, onfailure = None, precheck = None, binary = False, symlink = False) -> Any'.
    Parameter 'mergetype' must have a default value.

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.
