This allows for e.g. Jedi to infer types (it checks the name).
It was only used to support Python 3.5.0/3.5.1, where this is is not
available in the `typing` module.
Ref: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/1472
Uses `TYPE_CHECKING = False` in `_pytest.outcomes` to avoid having to
work around circular import.
It seems to have been added in #1439 to fix#1178.
This was only relevant for Python 2 where it was tempting to use str (==
bytes) literals instead of unicode literals. In Python 3, it is unlikely
that anyone passes bytes to these functions.
Add a very lax mypy configuration, add it to tox -e linting, and
fix/ignore the few errors that come up. The idea is to get it running
before diving in too much.
This enables:
- Progressively adding type annotations and enabling more strict
options, which will improve the codebase (IMO).
- Annotating the public API in-line, and eventually exposing it to
library users who use type checkers (with a py.typed file).
Though, none of this is done yet.

Regarding tests: it merges ``test_pdb_interaction``,
``test_pdb_print_captured_stdout``, and
``test_pdb_print_captured_stderr`` into
``test_pdb_print_captured_stdout_and_stderr`` (clarity and performance,
especially since pexpect tests are slow).
