Replace mypy with pyright

[emdneto]

We currently use Pyright in the contrib repository. However, in the core repository, Pyright is configured with typeCheckingMode = "off". During the SIG meeting on 01/09/2025, we discussed and agreed to replace mypy with Pyright in the core repository as well. This change will ensure both repositories use the same type checker, improving consistency across the codebase.

Hello @emdneto !
I am looking to contribute to the project if I can and this seemed doable!
I looked into this a bit and would like you the mypy.ini, mypy-requirements.txt, and mypy-relaxed.ini deleted in addition to the lines in toml referring to mypy?

In addition I noticed this pyright isn't set up in the pre-commit yaml in either repos you mentioned above. Do you want the pre-commit hooks updated too?
Cheers!
