convert : fix python 3.8 support, modernize type annotations (#2916)

* convert : fix python 3.8 support

* convert : sort imports

* convert : fix required parameters in convert-llama-ggmlv3-to-gguf

* convert : fix mypy errors in convert-llama-ggmlv3-to-gguf

* convert : use PEP 585 generics and PEP 604 unions

Now that we have `from __future__ import annotations`, we can use this
modern syntax in Python 3.7 instead of restricting support to Python 3.9
or 3.10 respectively.

* gguf.py : a tuple is already a tuple

* add mypy.ini

* convert : add necessary `type: ignore` comments

* gguf-py: bump version

convert.py
