Some type annotation work:

For static checking: tell mypy to ignore missing imports - specifically Client
when the globus compute SDK is not installed.

For dynamic type annotations: tell Python to use deferred type resolution.
This lets the module be imported even though the Client type annotation does
not exist in some setups.
