fix: request signature with annotation format STRING

[mschoettle]

On Python 3.14+ the default annotation format is Format.VALUE which causes an error when requesting a signature with an undefined name.

On Python 3.14, ruff suggests to move certain imports into type checking blocks, leading for example to the following:

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from _pytest.config import Config
    from _pytest.main import Session
    from _pytest.python import Function

def pytest_collection_modifyitems(session: Session, config: Config, items: list[Function]) -> None:
    ...

Causing:

Changing the annotation format to STRING fixes this.

[mschoettle]

This is reported as uncovered despite the comment

[mschoettle]

Actually, with the combined coverage data the comment should not be required. Not sure what's wrong with the codecov check.

[mschoettle]

Should be fixed once #669 is merged

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

note - this may be super-seeded by #632 which i just picked up again

[mschoettle]

Yes indeed. inspect.signature is not called anymore with that change.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

thank you for providing this, as mentioned earlier #632 solves it different
