settings: remove old mypy workarounds

[woodruffw]

These workarounds are no longer necessary on recent versions of mypy, and are causing CI failures (due to redundant casts).

[woodruffw]

Ah, this is a bit of a pain: the workaround is no longer needed on newer versions of mypy with newer Python versions. Looking into this more.

[woodruffw]

Looks like this is the snarl: the version of mypy needed (1.7.0) supports only Python 3.8 and higher, but twine still supports Python 3.7.

Some options here:

• Bump the minimum Python to 3.8 (3.7 is EOL)
• Limit typechecking in CI to only 3.8 and higher
• Double down on the workarounds here and tell mypy to ignore its own redundant cast warnings.
• Retain the workaround and pin mypy < 1.7.0

We aren't deliberately trying to keep 3.7 alive, just like we aren't deliberately not testing on 3.11 or 3.12,so I think we can drop 3.7

Sounds good. I can drop 3.7 and add 3.{11,12} in this PR.

Docs error looks like a re-manifestation of #838:

NB: This is my temporary hack for working around sphinx-doc/sphinx#11767.

Another option here would be to do the docs build in CI on Python 3.9 or newer, since those don't seem to be affected. But I wasn't sure if tox -e docs was expected to work on all supported Python versions or not 🙂

The last lingering failure here is in the integration suite; TestPyPI is returning 503s. That doesn't look localized to this PR, so I think that will just need to wait (or be ignored) 🙂

Odd I could have sworn we were using devpi for a server local to that test

Looks like there's test_devpi_upload and also test_pypi_upload, and only the former uses a local devpi instance.

[woodruffw]

Another oddity: TestPyPI returned 503, but the dist is present: https://test.pypi.org/project/twine-sampleproject/3.0.0.post20231123223830060228/

[sigmavirus24]

Very odd. I think I'm going to merge this despite that

[sigmavirus24]

Ah, guess I can't force merge this.

[woodruffw]

Post-hoc triage: the 503 in the integration tests here was caused by pypi/warehouse#14928. I'll fix that.
