Remove google/__init__.pyi

[nipunn1313]

Since google is a namespace package, it won't have an init.

Depends on typeshed-internal/stub_uploader#33 - so the stub uploader can handle it

Should wait until
microsoft/pyright@5e38fab gets in. See discussion

May also want to wait until python/mypy#9636 gets in - as it'll be confusing for folks to have to add the --namespace-packages flag to mypy for things to work.

Waiting for the mypy change might not be a good idea; it's likely going to take a while.

I've made some progress with python/mypy#11257 , python/mypy#11259 , python/mypy#11261 .
I'm hoping to get python/mypy#9636 across the finish line.

That being said - this doesn't strictly depend on it, but it will confuse everyone using protobuf stubs - since they'll have to add this --namespace-packages flag for things to continue to work.

^ both of these have gotten in!

Is this PR viable now?

[nipunn1313]

Ideallypython/mypy#9636 gets in first. I think it is ready, though I sense some hesitancy in the thread there.

Otherwise, we'll have to educate a lot of folks to pass --namespace-packages to use this stub.

If we think python/mypy#9636 will have a lot of delay - I can instead look into alternate ways to encourage people to set --namespace-packages manually (perhaps a useful error message in the right place). It feels a little embarrassing to mypy to do so, since the feature has been stable in python itself for so long.

Ok, lets wait for mypy 0.940, in case python/mypy#9636 goes into it. If it doesn't make 0.940 for some reason, we can merge it here first.

Now that 0.940 has been released can we merge this?

My interest is that the lack of this, means pyright produces a number of errors when google libraries are imported and that google stub information gets lost. At moment I've mostly just followed a practice of type ignore and let several google libraries behave like Any.

[JelleZijlstra]

I'm OK with merging this.

@hauntsaninja do you think the namespace packages change will make it into mypy soon?

[hauntsaninja]

Probably 🤷

I'm fine with this being merged whenever, since it's impacting users of other type checkers.
