Add type hints to the circuit module

[BoxiLi]

• Add type hints to the circuit module
• Rename texrenderer.py to tex_renderer.py
• Remove circuit.adjacent_gate as it is replaced by to_chain_structure long ago.

What Python versions do we need to support? If 3.9+ should we do from __future__ import annotations and then not have to import so many things from typing? E.g. Optional[Union[int, List[int]] becomes int | list[int] | None.

@boxi, I wanted to check on the python versions currently supported. The new circuit module type hint PR would require adjustments based on this suggestion.

We support what qutip supports, and qutip is aligning with NumPy. So it is definitely 3.9+. Do you need even newer version?

thanks for clarifying @BoxiLi. this works good.
