qapi/introspect.py: add type hint annotations

NB: The type aliases (SchemaInfo et al) declare intent for some of the
"dictly-typed" objects we pass around in introspect.py. They do not
enforce the shape of those objects, and cannot, until Python 3.7 or
later. (And even then, it may not be "worth it".)

Annotations are also added to the QAPISchemaEntity __init__ method in
schema.py to allow mypy to statically prove the type of typ.name,
needed to prove the return type of
QAPISchemaGenIntrospectVisitor._use_type().
