[Style] Use typing_extensions.Self pre-3.11 Python

[eddiebergman]

Heyo,

I was browsing through some code and found this comment:

botorch/botorch/models/model.py

Line 327 in 831072c

# 'Self', but at this point the verbose 'T...' syntax is needed.

Just thought to share that you can access this through from typing_extensions import Self. This will pass Mypy and LSP checks such as pylance in VSCode or others.

from typing_extensions import Self

     def fantasize(
        self,
        X: Tensor,
        sampler: MCSampler,
        observation_noise: Optional[Tensor] = None,
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> Self:

This is already a transitive dependancy of yours through torch

$ pip install botorch
$ pip install pipdeptree

$ pipdeptree
# Omitted
── torch [required: >=1.13.1, installed: 2.4.0]
    # Omitted
    └── typing_extensions [required: >=4.8.0, installed: 4.12.2]
pipdeptree==2.23.1

└── pip [required: >=23.1.2, installed: 24.2]
setuptools==73.0.1
wheel==0.44.0

I did a quick check of other occurences and only found a similar usage in botorch/models/approximate_gp.py

$ git clone ...
$ cd botorch
$ rg TypeVar botorch

botorch/acquisition/input_constructors.py
16:from typing import Any, Callable, Optional, TypeVar, Union
108:T = TypeVar("T")

botorch/models/approximate_gp.py
35:from typing import Optional, TypeVar, Union
72:TApproxModel = TypeVar("TApproxModel", bound="ApproximateGPyTorchModel")

botorch/acquisition/logei.py
24:from typing import Callable, Optional, TypeVar, Union
68:FloatOrTensor = TypeVar("FloatOrTensor", float, Tensor)

botorch/models/model.py
19:from typing import Any, Callable, Optional, TYPE_CHECKING, TypeVar, Union
44:TFantasizeMixin = TypeVar("TFantasizeMixin", bound="FantasizeMixin")

If relevant: the license for typing_extensions is the same as Pythons

Thanks for the suggestion! Makes sense to me. Since typing_extensions is part of Python, I don't have any concerns about adding this dependency, and this seems to work with Pyre, which we use for type-checking, as well as with mypy.

This isn't going to be a high priority for the maintainers since we're just one minor version away from Python 3.11 and since this isn't broken now (just ugly) but I'd be happy to accept a pull request.
