typing: add type hints to argument checking functions in cmdutil

These might be surprising, since they can take strings instead of bytes.  The
way `AnyStr` works is that it must be all bytes or all str for any given
invocation.

The wildcard here will be the `opts` that get passed in- if the type is unknown
and defaults to `Any`, there's no enforcement that the dict key type matches the
additional args.  But a lot of uses should be using `**opts` from the command
method, which has a str key.  The uses of these methods in this module are now
typed because their internals force a specific type, and it can't just be
inferred from the caller.

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).
