1.7.0

What's Changed

There's one new user-facing feature:

2a901be Users can request specific result set column types with the new column_types keyword-only argument to execute

There's a change to how the extension module is compiled (which isn't expected to cause any user-facing behavior changes):

42f37d0 Begin building as C++ rather than C99

And other than that, some improvements have been made to type annotations:

aae3395 Declare fetchmany and fetchall to return lists rather than sequences
448e0c9 Update type annotations to indicate that lists and tuples can be bound as parameters
626a218 Use types from collections.abc rather than typing for annotations (adopting PEP 585)
cff4fa0 Merge type annotations into our Python code (previously they were in separate stub files)
