This commit adds mypy to the pre-commit hooks. This is executed through `hatch` as mypy needs to be able to find and parse dependencies in hatch's virtual environment. Signed-off-by: JP-Ellis <[email protected]>

The C extension module `_ffi` is now minimally typed with `pyi` files. It provides typing for the `ffi` class which holds a number of utility functions such as `ffi.string`, `ffi.cast`, `ffi.new`, etc. The `lib` class is also annotated within the `pyi` file, but this merely means that the type checking does not complain about calls to `lib.pactffi_*` functions. As part of this commit, the `StringResult` has been refactored to ensure that it works better with the type checker. Signed-off-by: JP-Ellis <[email protected]>

📝 Summary
_ffi.pyifile annotating the functions exposed by_ffi.cpython-*.soStringResult)As part of this PR, the following related work has been added:
🚨 Breaking Changes🔥 Motivation
The Rust FFI is wrapped by the Python CFFI package and a
_ffi.cpython-*.sobinary library is created. The binary library functions at runtime as a Python module, but obviously cannot be edited to add type hinting.Instead, it is possible to add a
_ffi.pyifile which provides type hinting in a separate file to the core implementation irrespective of whether the implementation being a Python text file, or a binary library.🔨 Test Plan
Done as part of the pre-commit hook
