Use pyright-specific comment for Quick Fix... > Add '# type: ignore' to suppress warning

[Avasam]

It is not uncommon to run multiple type-checkers on the same code-base (ie mypy+pyright), especially in libraries and in typeshed.
To separate the different type errors, especially when the checkers disagree, it is possible to configure pyright to ignore # type: ignore comments.

in next pre-release, if the option enableTypeIgnoreComments is false, we will show # pyright: ignore instead.

@heejaechang I just tried it on the latest pre-release, and it works, but not all the time:
