improve multiprocessing.Pool types (#2126)

Fixes #1703

Mostly introduce typevars to express that the return types match the return types of the
callbacks.

Removed comment about incompleteness since all documented classes from
https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing.pool
are covered.
