bindings: python: loosen type requirements in public API

Previously, `Chip.request_lines` and `LineRequest.reconfigure_lines`
were typed to accept a config argument that was either an int, a str,
or a tuple[int | str].

This had two downsides, namely:
* The tuple was typed as having only a single element and not a variable
  number of elements. The examples and test suite relied on a variable
  length tuple.
* The tuple type itself was overly restictive. The function
  implementations had no requirement that the value be a tuple, only
  that it was iterable if it was not a str or an int.

Now, these functions accept an Iterable[int | str] instead of tuples to
offer greater flexibility to callers.

This change does not break compatibility for existing users.
