Subject: [PATCH] fix python 3.10 loading issue after bb8e84e

The error is below.

It was failing because Callable was checking if `ifcopenshell.entity_instance` is a callable and at runtime actually it's not, it's a module.
In python 3.11 they've removed that check and therefore it's not throwing an error. Enabling forward annotations fixes it for python 3.10.
Not sure if there is a need to ensure `ifcopenshell.entity_instance` should be recgonized by python as a class at runtime rather than a module since we need it just for type checking and type checking seems to be clever enough to prioritize module classes over submodules.
