mypy 0.971 is the last version to support Python 3.6, so this is what pip installs on 3.6.

types-requests 2.28.11.12 is the last version to support mypy <1.0.0, due to changes in how the "Self" type is handled.¹ However, there's no way to declare that in package metadata (without requiring mypy, which is inappropriate for a typeshed package), so we have to resolve this dependency ourselves.²

With a too-new types-requests, mypy fails on 3.6 with errors like:

nextstrain/cli/remote/nextstrain_dot_org.py:230: error: Self? has no attribute "auth"

which we saw in CI failures.³

We'll drop support for Python 3.6 sooner than later, but for now, keep it going.

¹ python/typeshed@7180d02
python/typeshed#9702

² It would be possible if, for example, Python package metadata
supported a "Conflicts" field, as many packaging systems do.

Changes to external dependencies, like new releases of Python packages,
are a common source of build breakage.¹  Ensure we know sooner than
later when they break our build by running CI every day.

¹ The latest example is <#257>.
