Minor fixes to improve django-stubs (#695)

* Use `Sequence` instead of `Iterable` for `send_messages`.

According to the documentation
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/email/#email-backends),
`email_messages` is a list. Using `Iterable` will make it hard for
subclasses to implement this method utilizing functions like `__len__`.
While this still allows subclasses to accept `Iterable`.

* Fix function signature of `authenticate` of `BaseBackend`.

1. BaseBackend no longer requires the username and password argument.

They were removed 3 years ago in the commit below when `BaseBackend` is added:
75337a6050

2. `request` is optional for `authenticate` method.

According to django documentation, the authenticate method does not
necessarily require the request object.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/auth/default/#authenticating-users

* Tighten the type of `streaming_content` to `Iterator[bytes]`.

It is an iterator of a bytestring according to the documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/request-response/#django.http.StreamingHttpResponse.streaming_content

* Fix function signature of `django.contrib.staticfiles.serve`.

Since this `serve` function uses `django.views.static.serve` that
accepts `HttpRequest` as its first argument, it is more reasonable
to type it with `HttpRequest` instead of `WSGIRequest`.
