chore(python): use builtins.str instead of just str in Dict keys (#3866)

Added an integration test to verify parameters named `builtins` or `str`
do not shadow the relevant type names, which used to be problematic
until #3848 fixed the overarching issue, hoever the existing test only
covered the case where a parameter name shadowed an namespace/import.
    
Additionally, changes various `typing.Dict` keys that were mistakenly
spelled out as `str` to use `builtins.str` in order to improve overall
consistency in type declarations (see also #3866).
