bpo-38605: Make 'from __future__ import annotations' the default (GH-20434)

Browse source 
The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.

For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).

semantics of a function. The annotation values are available as values of
a dictionary keyed by the parameters' names in the :attr:`__annotations__`

:mod:`__future__` is used, annotations are preserved as strings at runtime which
