Description
For example, if a user uses --disallow-any-XXX and we can track the Any type as originating from an unannotated function/attribute in typeshed, we can add a note suggesting to contribute this type (with a link).

Research direction
Start by tracing the --disallow-any-XXX diagnostics and how mypy tracks an Any type's origin in typeshed. Done means the relevant error messages suggest contributing the originating type, include a link, and preserve existing behavior when no typeshed origin is available.
