Remove type hints from comments which have been added
as Python type hints. This helps avoid drift between comments
and reality, as well as removing redundant information.
Also adds some missing type hints which were simple to fill in.
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.
