Closes #694.

Proposed Changes

Documented imports such as from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient work at runtime but produce private-import errors in Pyright/Pylance and strict mypy because the typed package does not explicitly re-export them.

Use same-name import aliases for the existing public bindings in influxdb_client/__init__.py. This keeps runtime names and import behavior intact without adding a duplicate __all__ list or removing py.typed. Add a pytest regression that runs a representative consumer through strict mypy, with mypy included only in the test extra.

This replaces influxdata/influxdb-clients-apigen#84, following the request to fix the client directly.

Validation on Python 3.12/Linux ARM64:

• Installed baseline and patched packages: Pyright 1.1.414 reports seven reportPrivateImportUsage errors before and zero after; mypy 2.4.0 reports seven explicit-export errors before and zero after. The new pytest regression fails before and passes after.
• Selected offline tests: 128 passed, 2 subtests passed; the live-server test_write_context_manager case was deselected. The full integration suite was not run because no InfluxDB service was started.
• Changed Python files pass flake8. Whole-package lint reports the same two existing E721 diagnostics on baseline and patch in _async/api_client.py and _sync/api_client.py.
• Normalizing the redundant aliases yields an AST identical to the original package initializer. Other Python versions and operating systems were not tested locally.

• CHANGELOG.md updated
• Rebased/mergeable against current master
• A test has been added
