(chore) Type hints for abc codec codec_id attribute

[d-v-b]

I'm not sure how to type the buffer parameters. As long as we have a pickle codec, I don't think it's possible to restrict the return type of decode to anything narrower than object.

• Unit tests and/or doctests in docstrings
• Tests pass locally
• Docstrings and API docs for any new/modified user-facing classes and functions
• Changes documented in docs/release.rst
• Docs build locally
• GitHub Actions CI passes
• Test coverage to 100% (Codecov passes)

i'm just annotating the type of the codec_id attribute -- it's a ClassVar[str], (no default value) instead of str | None = None

👍 , just one suggestion, feel free to take or leave and then merge

I think my suggested change (that I applied) revealed (sort of) a real issue - Checksum32 is a base class, not a codec that can be used by itself. I've made this better by making it an abstract base class in #711 - if/when that's merged, we can update the check here in the test to not isinstance(codec, abc.ABC).
