Backport for type hinting generics in standard collections and union types as X | Y

_(greatly inspired by [future-annotations](https://github.com/asottile/future-annotations)!)_

## Installation

``` bash
    pip install future_typing
```

## Usage
Just add this custom source code encoding at the top of your file
```
# -*- coding: future_typing -*-
```

and then use `|` and `list[str]`, `dict[str, int]`, ... as if you were using `python 3.10`

```python
# -*- coding: future_typing -*-
from typing import Literal


class C:
    @staticmethod
    def g(t: tuple[int, ...]) -> tuple[int, ...]:
        return t


def f(a: list[str | int] | dict[str, str], b: Literal['pika'] | None = None) -> type[C]:
    x: set[str | int] = set(a)
    y: frozenset[str] = frozenset(['y1', 'y2'])
    t: tuple[int, ...] = (1, 2)
    print(f'it works! a: {a!r}, b: {b!r}')
    return C


f(['a', 'b', 1], 'pika')
```

```console
$ python3.8 pika.py
it works! a: ['a', 'b'], b: 'pika'

$ mypy pika.py
Success: no issues found in 1 source file
```

## See transformed source
```console
$ python3.8 -m future_typing pika.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import typing as typing___
from typing import Literal


class C :
    @staticmethod
    def g (t :typing___.Tuple [int ,...])->typing___.Tuple [int ,...]:
        return t


def f (a :typing___.Union [typing___.List [typing___.Union [str ,int ]],typing___.Dict [str ,str ]],b :typing___.Union [Literal ['pika'],None ]=None )->typing___.Type [C ]:
    x :typing___.Set [typing___.Union [str ,int ]]=set (a )
    y :typing___.FrozenSet [str ]=frozenset (['y1','y2'])
    t :typing___.Tuple [int ,...]=(1 ,2 )
    print (f'it works! a: {a!r}, b: {b!r}')
    return C


f (['a','b',1 ],'pika')
```
