The | syntax for unions is only supported in Python 3.10 and later. Since Python 3.8 and 3.9 are still supported upstream for a while and we had a user reporting on IRC that they couldn't use the stub file since they are using 3.8, change to the old syntax for unions to support this. There aren't really any drawbacks of this. It's just a bit more verbose, and a typing import is necessary, but neither of those really matters in a generated stub file.
