typing: add some type hints for bundle2 capabilities

Somewhere between hg 3dbc7b1ecaba and hg 8e3f6b5bf720, pytype determined the
signature of `bundle20.capabilities` changed from `Dict[bytes, Tuple[bytes]]` to
`Dict[bytes, Union[List[bytes], Tuple[bytes]]]`.

First, I did try to simply be explicit about the previously inferred type, but
it does seem to mix and match list/tuple now (e.g. in `writenewbundle()`).  I
tried changing the new list usage to tuple, but a couple of things complained,
(and I think lists of one item are a little more clear to read anyway).  So then
I typed the dict value as `Sequence[bytes]`, which worked fine.  But there's
also a module level `capabilities` field, and when that's typed, pytype
complains about `Sequence[bytes]` lacking `__add__`[1].  So I gave up, and just
assigned it the type it wanted, with an alias.  If somebody feels motivated to
make the type consistent, it's simple enough to change the alias.

The mutable default value to the constructor was removed to appease PyCharm's
type checking on the field.  (I didn't bother running the code through pytype
prior to changing it, because we've previously made an effort to remove this
pattern anyway.)

I'm not sure why `getrepocaps()` has a default value for `role` that apparently
raises an exception.  It's just flagged for now so this series can land without
risking additional problems.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
