Missing typing support for string collections in some commands

[QuicksilverMachine]

Describe the bug

Typing of a couple of parameters is wrong. They are set to be str or Optional[str] only, when they can accept lists or tuples. Specifically it's the following functions:

alembic.command.revision - depends_on parameter alembic.command.stamp - revisions parameter alembic.command.merge - revisions parameter

Expected behavior

The typing should reflect the implementation.

To Reproduce Simply run mypy with parameters being a tuple or list of strings.

Error

************.py: note: In function "merge":
************.py:165: error: Argument "revisions" to "merge" has incompatible type "List[str]"; expected "str"  [arg-type]
