Support mypy / static typing

Right now static typing isn't really supported, and we are basically forced to turn it off via
from cached_property import cached_property # type: ignore
What seems to work pretty well is to pretend to mypy that cached_property is the same as property, that is, write a cached_property.pyi
stub file with just
cached_property = property
and then manually point mypy at it. Ideally that would be part of the out-of-the-box experience. For that we would need to either push support into typeshed or:
- Rewrite cached_property.py into a package (code goes into
cached_property/__init__.py
or import it from there) - Add the
cached_property/__init__.pyi
stub - Add the
cached_property/py.typed
marker as in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0561/
With #26 we wouldn't need the stub pyi file but the py.typed
marker and refactoring into a package would still be required.
