Move all torch.nn.modules type annotations inline (#38211)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/38211
Just because the annotations are inline doesn't mean the files type
check; most of the newly annotated files have type errors and I
added exclusions for them in mypy.ini. The payoff of moving
all of these modules inline is I can delete the relevant code
generation logic for the pyi files (which was added ignore
annotations that weren't actually relevant anymore.)
For the most part the translation was completely mechanical, but there
were two hairy issues. First, I needed to work around a Python 3.6 and
earlier bug where Generic has a nontrivial metaclass. This fix is in
torch/jit/__init__.py. Second, module.py, we need to apply the same
fix for avoiding contravariance checks that the pyi file used to have;
this is done by declaring forward as a variable (rather than a
function), which appears to be sufficient enough to get mypy to not
contravariantly check input arguments.
Because we aren't actually typechecking these modules in most
cases, it is inevitable that some of these type annotations are wrong.
I slavishly copied the old annotations from the pyi files unless there
was an obvious correction I could make. These annotations will probably
need fixing up later.
