refactor: migrate from mypy to ty (Astral type checker)

Replace mypy with ty for static type checking. ty is Astral's
extremely fast Rust-based type checker that:
- Installs as a standalone binary (no Python package deps)
- Eliminates PyPy build failures caused by mypy's librt dependency
- Is 10-100x faster than mypy
- Integrates well with the Astral toolchain (uv, ruff)

Changes:
- pyproject.toml: Remove mypy from dev deps, add [tool.ty] section
- justfile: Update check-typing to use `ty check` instead of mypy
- justfile: Update distclean to remove .ty/ instead of .mypy_cache/

Some ty rules are ignored due to txaio's dynamic framework switching:
- unresolved-attribute: dynamic module attributes (using_twisted, etc)
- possibly-missing-attribute: sys._getframe() returns FrameType | None
- call-non-callable: callback type inference edge cases
- deprecated: abc.abstractproperty usage (to be fixed later)

Note: This work was completed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
