Description
```csharp
Type.GetType("TypeThatDoesntExist").GetMethod("Foo");
```
Above generates `C:\trimmedapp\Program.cs(4,5): Trim analysis warning IL2075: Program.$(String[]): 'this' argument does not satisfy 'DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PublicMethods' in call to 'System.Type.GetMethod(String)'. The return value of method 'System.Type.GetType(String)' does not have matching annotations. The source value must declare at least the same requirements as those declared on the target location it is assigned to. [C:\trimmedapp\trimmedapp.csproj]`.
We should ideally treat "GetType called with a known string that doesn't resolve to a type" differently from "GetType called with an unknown string".
The type might be missing because it's a lightup. This should not warn because the runtime behavior is going to be same (the type is missing before and after trimming). Hit in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/61952.
