Failing mypy tests in users app with django-stubs

[danifus]

What happened?

After installing django-stubs (pip install django-stubs) the typing tests in the users app fail with Name 'settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL' is not defined.

reveal_type(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL) returns Any which doesn't provide much value. Did this work differently at some stage in the past? If not, an easy fix would be to remove the annotations in the test function signatures.

Furthermore, the type of settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL is str and the user type should be a subclass of a django model. If that is correct, that might be another reason to remove the annotation.

What should've happened instead?

No mypy errors

Steps to reproduce

pip install django-stubs
mypy <project dir>

I don't think it worked differently in the past. We should fix this. PR welcome.
