This commit reorders any overloads where the first overload was
"shadowing" the second, preventing it from ever being matched by type
checkers that work by selecting the first matching overload alternative.
For example, the first overload alternative below is strictly broader
then the second, preventing it from ever being selected:
class Parent: pass
class Child(Parent): pass
@overload
def foo(x: *int) -> Parent: ...
@overload
def foo(x: int, y: int) -> Child: ...
The correct thing to do is to either delete the second overload or
rearrange them to look like this:
@overload
def foo(x: int, y: int) -> Child: ...
@overload
def foo(x: *int) -> Parent: ...
Rationale: I'm currently [working on a proposal][0] that would amend
PEP 484 to (a) mandate type checkers check overloads in order and
(b) prohibit overloads where an earlier alternative completely shadows
a later one.

This would prohibit overloads that look like the example below, where
the first alternative completely shadows the second.
I figured it would be a good idea to make these changes ahead of time:
if my proposal is accepted, it'd make the transition smoother. If not,
this is hopefully a relatively harmless change.
Note: I think some of these overloads could be simplified (e.g.
`reversed(...)`), but I mostly stuck with rearranging them in case I was
wrong. The only overload I actually changed was `hmac.compare_digest` --
I believe the Python 2 version actually accepts unicode.
