[mod] addition of various type hints / tbc

- pyright configuration [1]_
- stub files: types-lxml [2]_
- addition of various type hints
- enable use of new type system features on older Python versions [3]_
- ``.tool-versions`` - set python to lowest version we support (3.10.18) [4]_:
  Older versions typically lack some typing features found in newer Python
  versions.  Therefore, for local type checking (before commit), it is necessary
  to use the older Python interpreter.
