# What this PR does
Fixes an issue when multiple user notification policies have duplicated
order values, leading to the following unexpected behaviours:
1. Not possible to rearrange notification policies that have duplicated
orders.
2. The notification system only executes the first policy from each
order group. For example, if there are policies with orders `[0, 0, 0,
0]`, only the first policy will be executed, and all others will be
skipped. So the user will see four policies in the UI, while only one of
them will be actually executed.
This PR fixes the issue by adding a unique index on `(user_id,
important, order)` for `UserNotificationPolicy` model. However, it's not
possible to add that unique index using the ordering library that we use
due to it's implementation details.
I added a new abstract Django model `OrderedModel` that's able to work
with such unique indices + under concurrent load.
Important info on this new `OrderedModel` abstract model:
- Orders are unique on the DB level
- Orders are allowed to be non-consecutive, for example order sequence
`[100, 150, 400]` is valid
- When deleting an instance, orders of other instances don't change.
This is a notable difference from the library we use. I think it's
better to only delete the instance without changing any other orders,
because it reduces the number of dependencies between instances (e.g.
Terraform drift will be much smaller this way if a policy is deleted via
the web UI).

# What this PR does
- Adds [`mypy` static type checking](https://mypy-lang.org/) to our CI
pipeline. Currently there is still a **ton** of errors being returned by
the tool, as we'll need to fix pre-existing errors. I think we can
slowly chip away at these errors in small PRs, doing them all in one
large PR is likely very risky.
- Also, this PR starts chipping away at one of the main type errors that
we have which is accessing the `datetime` class (from the `datetime`
library) or `timedelta` function on the `django.utils.timezone` module.
Basically we should be instead accessing these two objects from the
native `datetime` module. This makes sense because the [`__all__`
attribute](https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/utils/timezone.py#L14-L30)
in `django.utils.timezone` does not re-export `datetime` or `timedelta`.
- splits `engine` dependencies out into `requirements.txt` and
`requirements-dev.txt`
