[3.6] bpo-28556: typing.get_type_hints: better globalns for classes and modules (GH-3582) (#3583)
This makes the default behavior (without specifying `globalns` manually) more predictable for users, finds the right globalns automatically. Implementation for classes assumes has a `__module__` attribute and that module is present in `sys.modules`. It does this recursively for all bases in the MRO. For modules, the implementation just uses their `__dict__` directly. This is backwards compatible, will just raise fewer exceptions in naive user code. Originally implemented and reviewed at https://github.com/python/typing/pull/470. (cherry picked from commit f350a268a7071ce7d7a5bb86a9b1229782d4963b)
