perf: make silverback --help faster

[antazoey]

What I did

Cuts the time down. It is twice as fast for me now to run silverback --help.

How I did it

• Any CLI module has to be more careful on its top-level imports
• Root init file of package needs to also be careful, using a __getattr__ there.

How to verify it

time silverback --help

Before:

silverback  4.13s user 0.83s system 93% cpu 5.280 total

After:

silverback  1.63s user 0.28s system 83% cpu 2.297 total

Results may vary.

@dtdang if you can just verify the CLI all works well still, we can merge

[antazoey]

It doesn't look like you are, but one thing to be aware of is autodoc won'tt work for lazy modules like this.
However, it isn't that hard to just add in the docs manually. Example: https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape/blob/main/docs/methoddocs/ape.md

[dtdang]

Looks like some of the CLI commands that depend on ApePay are causing errors in the new PR since we refactored BaseInterfaceModel to utils so we'll need to fix this first before merging the PR.

ImportError: cannot import name 'BaseInterfaceModel' from 'ape.types'

[antazoey]

ImportError: cannot import name 'BaseInterfaceModel' from 'ape.types'

BaseInterfaceModel was never exported in ape.types; this was a mistake
it was only coincidentally imported there

Looks like I just needed to update the repo on my end, my bad. Testing the rest of the commands now but everything is looking good since pulling the latest repos.

[dtdang]

LGTM no issues with the commands since updating other repos.

[antazoey]

Well I am moving all the base model stuff to types since that is where yall went lookin for it: ApeWorX/ape#2353
And so in 0.9 youll have to put that back or wait for the release of Ape where itll work in both

Need to double check this all still works before merging

OK but all I did was remove an import that no longer used.

CLI is still working as intended

The type annotation PlatformClient was something I was using internally, we don't really have the CLI tested here so I want to make sure nothing was breaking

I am quite tempted to add more tests to silverback.

Once I figure out how to do the whole backtesting thing, it'll be a lot easier. But testing the CLI would be good.
