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

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).

+PEP 563: Postponed Evaluation of Annotations Becomes Default
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In Python 3.7, postponed evaluation of annotations was added,
+to be enabled with a ``from __future__ import annotations``
+directive.  In 3.10 this became the default behavior, even
+without that future directive.  With this being default, all
+annotations stored in :attr:`__annotations__` will be strings.
+If needed, annotations can be resolved at runtime using
+:func:`typing.get_type_hints`.  See :pep:`563` for a full
+description.  Also, the :func:`inspect.signature` will try to
+resolve types from now on, and when it fails it will fall back to
+showing the string annotations.  (Contributed by Batuhan Taskaya
+in :issue:`38605`.)
+
 * The :class:`int` type has a new method :meth:`int.bit_count`, returning the
   number of ones in the binary expansion of a given integer, also known
   as the population count. (Contributed by Niklas Fiekas in :issue:`29882`.)
