platform.DEVNULL seemed undocumented, but is eg, still mentioned in the
header comment of platform.py. So feels surprising this was removed
without much warning.

Note the new parameter doesn't actually exist on the base class, even
though it's documented as that being the case. Asked about it in https://bugs.python.org/issue39349

The latest pytype release fixes two pyi parser bugs that allow files
affected by them to be taken off the pytype exclude list. I removed two
`total=False` declarations in tkinter/__init__ that pytype does not like
(because it checks that `total` is present only when TypedDict is a
class's immediate parent) and which shouldn't be needed because
_InMiscNonTotal already specifies totality. I double-checked that mypy
reports no errors in 3.7 on a .py file containing:
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
Foo = TypedDict('Foo', {'x': int}, total=False)
class Bar(Foo): pass
x: Foo = {}
showing that it doesn't require `total` to be repeated.
In tkinter, `widget['foo'] = bar` and `widget.config(foo=bar)` do the same thing, but they will now type-check differently: the `widget['foo'] = bar` syntax allows 'foo' to be any string (e.g. a variable, not necessarily a Literal) and bar to be any object, while `widget.config(foo=bar)` checks the existence of the option and the type of bar. Similarly, cget takes a Literal argument but __getitem__ takes a string.

PEP 484 indicates that all type annotations within a stub file are supposed to be considered forward references even if they are not quoted. This means a type checker needs to use scope-based symbol resolution without regard for code flow order. Lookups will find same-named symbols within the same scope even if they are declared after the type annotation. This change fixes a couple of cases where this occurs and confuses pyright.

This makes mypy think that conditions like
parameter.kind is Parameter.POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD
are always false, which triggers `unreachable` warnings, among other
problems.
