fix(python): Change method op type hints to match dunder op type hints

Type hints for operators were refined in #13635 [0], but the refinements
were generally not propagated to the method equivalents (pow() being the
sole exception). This can result in equivalent expressions being treated
differently by type checkers, especially if stricter settings are used
that discourage/disallow the use of Any.

This commit changes the type hints for the method equivalents to match
those for the operators. This should ensure resulting types are
consistent regardless of whether one uses infix operators or their
method equivalents.

This also has the side benefit of making the documentation a bit more
consistent as the type hint more closely matches the stated type of the
argument in the docstring.

Not entirely sure whether the type: ignore hints are necessary or
whether there's some alternative formulation which doesn't require them.
I believe the override should be sound in this instance since the
expr.or_(expr, ...) should be equivalent to expr | expr | ..., and the
type signature for or_() was changed to be the same as for __bitor__
(and a similar argument applies to and_()/__bitand__).
