provision: Simplify `is_force` codepaths.

I remove `is_force` from `file_or_package_hash_updated`
and modernize its mypy annotations.

If `is_force` is `True`, we just now run the thing
we want to force-run without having to call
`file_or_package_hash_updated` to expensively
and riskily return `True`.

Another nice outcome of this change is that if
`file_or_package_hash_updated` returns `True`,
you can know that the file or package has
indeed been updated.

For the case of `build_pygments_data` we also
skip an `os.path.exists` check when `is_force`
is `True`.

We will short-circuit more logic in the next
few commits, as well as cleaning up some of
the long/wrapper lines in the `if` statements.
