Merge #18210: test: type hints in Python tests

Pull request description:

  This PR adds initial support for type hints checking in python scripts.

  Support for type hints was introduced in Python 3.5. Type hints make it easier to read and review code in my opinion. Also an IDE may discover a potential bug sooner. Yet, as PEP 484 says: "It should also be emphasized that Python will remain a dynamically typed language, and the authors have no desire to ever make type hints mandatory, even by convention."

  [Mypy](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) is used in `lint-python.sh` to do the type checking. The package is standard so there is little chance that it will be abandoned. Mypy checks that type hints in source code are correct when they are not, it fails with an error.

  **Notes:**

  * [--ignore-missing-imports](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_line.html#cmdoption-mypy-ignore-missing-imports) switch is passed on to `mypy` checker for now. The effect of this is that one does not need `# type: ignore` for `import zmq`. More information about import processing can be found [here](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports). This can be changed in a follow-up PR, if it is deemed useful.
  * We are stuck with Python 3.5 until 04/2021 (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python3). When Python version is bumped to 3.6+, one can change:
      ```python
      _opcode_instances = []  # type: List[CScriptOp]
      ```
      to
      ```python
      _opcode_instances:List[CScriptOp] = []
      ```
      for type hints that are **not** function parameters and function return types.

ACKs for top commit:
  fanquake:
    ACK bd7e530f010d43816bb05d6f1590d1cd36cdaa2c - the type checking is not the most robust (there are things it fails to detect), but I think this is worth adopting (in a limited capacity while we maintain 3.5 compat).
  MarcoFalke:
    ACK bd7e530f010d43816bb05d6f1590d1cd36cdaa2c fine with me

ci scripts

This directory contains scripts for each build step in each build stage.

Currently three stages lint, extended_lint and test are defined. Each stage has its own lifecycle, similar to the Travis CI lifecycle. Every script in here is named and numbered according to which stage and lifecycle step it belongs to.

Running a stage locally

Be aware that the tests will be built and run in-place, so please run at your own risk. If the repository is not a fresh git clone, you might have to clean files from previous builds or test runs first.

The ci needs to perform various sysadmin tasks such as installing packages or writing to the user's home directory. While most of the actions are done inside a docker container, this is not possible for all. Thus, cache directories, such as the depends cache, previous release binaries, or ccache, are mounted as read-write into the docker container. While it should be fine to run the ci system locally on you development box, the ci scripts can generally be assumed to have received less review and testing compared to other parts of the codebase. If you want to keep the work tree clean, you might want to run the ci system in a virtual machine with a Linux operating system of your choice.

To allow for a wide range of tested environments, but also ensure reproducibility to some extent, the test stage requires docker to be installed. To install all requirements on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt install docker.io bash

To run the default test stage,

./ci/test_run_all.sh

To run the test stage with a specific configuration,

FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh
