This is an alternative to #132270 that keeps the symlinks in the repository. This has the following advantages:
.gitignorefile;mypy.iniconfiguration files that add theMisc/mypydirectory can be used in a local type-checking workflow without running any additional tools.This allows running type checking without building Python first or running the additional script manually. This is important because the type-checking errors emitted due to missing symlinks are confusing and don't suggest what the solution is.
The only disadvantage of this PR compared to #132270 is that we still keep symlinks in the repository 🤷🏻♂️
