Add option to selectively disable --disallow-untyped-calls (#15845)

Fixes #10757 

It is surprisingly one of the most upvoted issues. Also it looks quite
easy to implement, so why not. Note I also try to improve docs for
per-module logic for `disallow_untyped_calls`, as there is currently
some confusion.
