For the most part, this shortens the Getting Started page, which was getting a little too long to read comfortably and had caveats that aren't super important. The cheat sheet does a really great job of "show, don't tell", so recommend that even more aggressively for beginners. The BankAccount example was nice, and the cheat sheet was missing a discussion on inheritance, so move a version of that over there. Finally, most users of mypy don't need to know the details of typeshed and stub files, especially not when getting started. So reframe as a more generic section about types for third party libraries.
