Complex type expressions (which may be unsupported) do not lead to spurious `[redundant-cast]`

A cast from `Todo` or `Unknown` to `Any` is not considered a "redundant cast": even if these are
understood as gradually equivalent types by ty, they are understood as different types by human
readers of ty's output. For `Unknown` in particular, we may consider it differently in the context
of some opt-in diagnostics, as it indicates that the gradual type has come about due to an invalid
annotation, missing annotation or missing type argument somewhere.
Casting `Unknown` to `Unknown` or `Any` to `Any` is not considered redundant; these dynamic types
may represent different static types, and erroring on this violates the gradual guarantee.
