Summary
This PR adds a codemod for Python 3.9+ that updates references like
typing.List
to justlist
. It includes all the builtins that have an alias in the typing module.We can also do the same thing for some non-builtin types in the collections module (the full list is in https://peps.python.org/pep-0585/#implementation) but I'm not sure if that should be a separate codemod or added to this one.
I also had to update the RenameCommand to avoid adding imports if the new name is a builtin.
