Subject: [PATCH] [fix] updated invocation_metadata return type hint (#36894)

Updated the type hint for return type of grpc.aio.ServicerContext.invocation_metadata() to Optional[MetadataType] instead of Optional[Metadata].

MetadataType is already defined to be a Sequence[MetadatumType] and hence the type hint will reflect the sequence being returned, hence solving the [user's reported issue](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/36613)

Closes #36894
