PyAPI: use postponed annotations to support Python 3.10

Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.

- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
  types registered on startup.

- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
  since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
  classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.

- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
  to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.

- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.
