mypy: move configuration to pyproject.toml (#24802)

This moves our `mypy` configuration from `.mypy.ini` to `.pyproject.toml`
and increases the minimum `mypy` version in the tests.

- [x] move `mypy` configuration to `pyproject.toml`
- [x] remove `.mypy.ini`
- [x] ensure that `mypy` version .900 or higher is used in tests
