fix: drop string TypeAlias definitions from public modules

The definition of the aliases as strings breaks composition with other
types. For instance `DictRow | tuple` is not valid. We could ask people
to use strings on their own, but this is a regression anyway.

In this changesets only the types reasonably exposed to the public are
fixed. Others are internal and I don't think would affect anyone (or, at
least, we can ditch the blame and put it on the user...) Modules
considered to clean from string typedefs are:

- psycopg
- psycopg.abc
- psycopg.pq
- psycopg.pq.abc
- psycopg.rows
- psycopg_pool
- psycopg_pool.abc

Close #860.
