typing: explicitly type some `mercurial.util` eol code to avoid @overload

Unlike the previous commit, this makes a material difference in the generated
stub file- the `pycompat.identity()` aliases generated an @overload like this:

    @overload
    def fromnativeeol(a: _T0) -> _T0: ...

... which might fail to detect a bad argument, like str.  This drops the
@overload for the 3 related methods, so there's a single definition for each.

The `typelib.BinaryIO_Proxy` is used for subclassing (the same as was done in
8147abc05794), so that it is a `BinaryIO` type during type checking, but still
inherits `object` at runtime.  That way, we don't need to implement unused
abstract methods.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
