[New-bugs-announce] [issue27688] Expand documentation about Any in the typing module

[Michael Lee]

New submission from Michael Lee:

This patch updates the section about `Any` in the typing module. Previously, that section was relatively sparse and didn't seem to do a very good job of helping the reader understand what the distinction between `Any` and `object` is.

This patch expands that section and adds several examples borrowed from the mypy docs and PEP 484.
