Currently the layers module is untyped and BaseChannelLayer is not a real interface (lacks stub methods)

This PR adds typings and stub methods (for type hinting and getting a meaningful error in case something is missing)

Yes, I'm not sure about this. It's a lot of noise for not much benefit as far as I can see.

Surely though, if we were adding types, a Protocol would be the way forward, rather than base class stub methods... 🤔

The problem my PR solves is, that it is not obvious for programmers how to write a layer backend.
Docstrings are spread around and you have to look in channels-redis too to make sense of the functions

Agreed a protocol would be maybe better later but it needs more refactory.
I will implement this

how do you think about this?

BaseChannelLayer is now abstract, the extensions are now runtime checkable Protocols.

If you think this is good, I can document the changes
