Release blocker: Mypy ignores NumType's `numpy-stubs`

[jorenham]

Unless all .pyi are deleted from the numpy installation directory, mypy will prioritize NumPy's bundled stubs over NumType's numpy-stubs, contradicting the typing spec.

So until python/mypy#18997 is fixed and included in a mypy release, we won't be able to release NumType (unless we drop mypy support, but I don't want that).

I submitted a PR that fixes this issue python/mypy#19001. Hopefully it will be included in the upcoming mypy 1.16 release.

Mypy 1.16.0 was just released, which includes my fix:
