change the type annotation error heuristic (#2583)

The previous one depended on the message from "typed_ast", which is
   not used anymore.

Instead, we check if there is a "# type:" substring in the source line
   of the exception. This can yield some false positives, but probably
   rarely.

(cherry picked from commit 62c5bad)
