Create `Event` class/type

[antonpirker]

RIght now our Event type is only a dict: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/blob/antonpirker/2345-new-performance-api/sentry_sdk/_types.py#L26

We should have an Event class, that makes it easier to pass events around. (and find where events are used in the code)

Perhaps a TypedDict would suffice, rather than a custom class?

[antonpirker]

Maybe, we will check.

Hey @allanlewis -- TypedDict would be great for this, but it was only added in 3.8, and the SDK still needs to support Python versions below that (also in the new major release we're currently working on).

Versions before 3.8 are EOL 😕

We still want to support them though. :)
