Make more use of typing_extensions module (#2460)

* Make more use of typing_extensions module

This commit replaces various homegrown type definitions by imports
from typing_extensions module.

* Simplify typing_extensions imports

The `typing_extensions` module is a compatibility layer between python versions.
Required types can always be imported from it, even if available via `typing`
natively.
