Bug summary

Axes.legend is annotated too strictly and incorrectly necessitates Sequence for handles and labels, even though any Iterable works. This also contradicts the docstring on the method.

Code for reproduction

handles, labels = ax.get_legend_handles_labels()
ax.legend(iter(handles), iter(labels))

Actual outcome

No overload variant of "legend" of "Axes" matches argument types "Iterator[Artist]", "Iterator[Any]" [call-overload]

Expected outcome

Passes without type error
