Missing Type Hints

[hf-kklein]

Proposal:

• There should be type hints in this library.
• The type hints shall be available to users of the library.

Current behavior:

• There are no type hints.
• When type checking my own code with mypy, I get the error message:

error: Skipping analyzing "influxdb_client": module is installed, but missing library stubs or py.typed marker [import-untyped]

Desired behavior:

• There shall be type hints in the code, especially in the user facing signatures.
• there shall be a py.typed file that is contained in the package (see PEP 561).

Alternatives considered:
None that I know of.

Use case:

• Better developer experience
• Type checks in code using this client (aka "Compile" time safety)
