Item "AbstractBaseUser" of "Union[AbstractBaseUser, AnonymousUser]" has no attribute "is_superuser"

Bug report

What's wrong

AbstractBaseUser does not appear to be properly type hinted

# This causes the following MyPy error...
# Item "AbstractBaseUser" of "Union[AbstractBaseUser, AnonymousUser]" has no attribute "is_superuser"
@method_decorator(user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser), name="dispatch")
class GeneralSettingsView(UpdateView):
    ...

How is that should be

All expected attributes off AbstractBaseUser should be exposed to MyPy

Some additional digging tells me that is_superuser is not a valid field of AbstractBaseUser. So the issue I'm experiencing appears to be #1058.

However, I did notice that the clean field is currently not defined within the AbstractBaseUser type hints.

Is it worth PRing this if the definition is only def clean(self) -> None: ...?

Technically unneeded, but depends on if this repo prioritizes completeness or not.

Closing in favor of #1058
