Description
From discussions#2339, carsakiller notified me that LuaLS doesn't have this diagnostic. Here's a simple test where I would like there to be a diagnostic message:
local co = require 'corutine' -- misspelling, `co` has Unknown type

Research direction
Start with discussions#2339 and trace how LuaLS resolves require calls and reports Unknown type diagnostics. Use the example with the misspelled corutine module as the reproduction; done means a clear missing-module diagnostic is emitted for that require instead of only leaving co with an Unknown type.
