Before this change, the return type for these functions was always bytes| str. However, the type can be narrowed based on the value passed to raw_output.

This change adds overload annotations for the two allowable values to allow type checkers to narrow the type and correctly infer the exact return type.

Resolves #2046


As opposed to the example in the issue, this now shows the correct types:

$ cat t.py
import faker

fake = faker.Faker()

x = fake.md5(raw_output=False)
reveal_type(x)

y = fake.md5(raw_output=True)
reveal_type(y)

x = fake.sha1(raw_output=False)
reveal_type(x)

y = fake.sha1(raw_output=True)
reveal_type(y)

x = fake.sha256(raw_output=False)
reveal_type(x)

y = fake.sha256(raw_output=True)
reveal_type(y)

$ mypy t.py
t.py:6:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.str"
t.py:9:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.bytes"
t.py:12:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.str"
t.py:15:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.bytes"
t.py:18:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.str"
t.py:21:13: note: Revealed type is "builtins.bytes"

Before this change, the return type for these functions was always
`bytes| str`. However, the type can be narrowed based on the value
passed to `raw_output`.

This change adds overload annotations for the two allowable values to
allow type checkers to narrow the type and correctly infer the exact
return type.
