[PATCH RFC 1/3] python: expose typing information via PEP 561

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Create 'py.typed' files in each subpackage that indicate to mypy that
this is a typed module, so that users of any of these packages can use
mypy to check their code as well.

(Note: theoretically it's possible to ditch MANIFEST.in in favor of
using package_data, but I genuinely could not figure out how to get it
to include things from the source root into the package root. I
tried!...)
