Description

Dear maintainers,
I think it is useful if Thrift Python compiler has option to enable generated code contain type hints proposed in PEP 484.

Though it does no effect on semantics currently, there are several linting tools use it. It also helps people who work with generated code.
This syntax is supported by Python 3.5> only, but for versions below we can still use special type comments for annotations.
