Use latest version of mypy and fix type hinting accordingly

Also:
- Update Pipfile to never require mock since we only support Python 3.6+
- Remove Azure Pipelines badge from Readme and fix section links there
- Added an "inv format" task to run black and isort to auto-format all code before a commit
