Add type signatures in support of strict type-review on example.py

This patch does not take the last step of adding the `--strict` flag in
type review.

This patch satisfies a run of the type checker in strict mode against
the script `/example.py` and all of the library functions that script
depends on.  Additionally, all touched `__init__` methods observed to
not have `*args` & `**kwargs` catch-alls had those added and
incorporated into `super()` calls (which will assist with tying to,
e.g., knowledge base namespace helpers available in the ultimate parent
class `UcoThing`).

One effect reflected back into the example script is that the EXIF
dictionary incorporation logic needed its own keyword parameter, because
the `**kwargs` catch-all parameter being used was an atypical usage
versus the pass-through-to-superclass functionality of `**kwargs`.

This patch also adjusted one class position, moving `MessageThread`
under `ObservableObject` instead of `UcoObject`.  A follow-on patch will
do the same for `CaseInvestigation`.
