This is a lot of files changed! Don't panic! Here's how it works:
* Previously, we set `follow_imports = silent` for our mypy.ini configuration. Per https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#follow-imports, what this does is whenever we have an import to a module which is not listed as a file to be typechecked in mypy, we typecheck it as normal but suppress all errors that occurred in that file.
* When mypy is run inside lintrunner, the list of files is precisely the files covered by the glob in lintrunner.toml, but with files in excludes excluded.
* The top-level directive `# mypy: ignore-errors` instructs mypy to typecheck the file as normal, but ignore all errors.
* Therefore, it should be equivalent to set `follow_imports = normal`, if we put `# mypy: ignore-errors` on all files that were previously excluded from the file list.
* Having done this, we can remove the exclude list from .lintrunner.toml, since excluding a file from typechecking is baked into the files themselves.
* torch/_dynamo and torch/_inductor were previously in the exclude list, because they were covered by MYPYINDUCTOR. It is not OK to mark these as `# mypy: ignore-errors` as this will impede typechecking on the alternate configuration. So they are temporarily being checked twice, but I am suppressing the errors in these files as the configurations are not quite the same. I plan to unify the configurations so this is only a temporary state.
* There were some straggler type errors after these changes somehow, so I fixed them as needed. There weren't that many.
In the future, to start type checking a file, just remove the ignore-errors directive from the top of the file.
The codemod was done with this script authored by GPT-4:
```
import glob
exclude_patterns = [
...
]
for pattern in exclude_patterns:
for filepath in glob.glob(pattern, recursive=True):
if filepath.endswith('.py'):
with open(filepath, 'r+') as f:
content = f.read()
f.seek(0, 0)
f.write('# mypy: ignore-errors\n\n' + content)
```

Talked to @zou3519 and @ezyang on what the right UX is: tentatively, adding a new dynamo backend is cheap and simple, so it seems worth doing. And longer term, we agreed (?) that it's worth seeing if we can get custom ops sanity asserts to run more automatically, instead of needing a separate backend.
Side comment: that actually seems tough: the mode detects secret mutations by cloning every input to every op, running the op, and checking that the data matches between the real input and the cloned input. So I doubt we'll be able to make that behavior always-on? It would need some config at least.
