Fixing imports in type-stubs for Pyright

[Mikaël Capelle]

If you want an example of stubs I think most stubs do import collections
and use collections.abc.

If you want an example of code that throws pyright of:

from PyQt6.QtCore import QDir
QDir().entryInfoList(QDir.Filter.Dirs | QDir.Filter.NoDotAndDotDot)

Because one of the overload of `entryInfoList()` uses collections.abc.
