Closes python#123242. The real criterion is that the attribute does not
exist on heap types, but I don't think we should discuss heap vs.
static types in the language reference.

Accessing the :attr:`!__annotations__` attribute of a class
object directly may yield incorrect results in the presence of
metaclasses. Use :func:`annotationlib.get_annotations` to
metaclasses. In addition, the attribute may not exist for
some classes. Use :func:`annotationlib.get_annotations` to
retrieve class annotations safely.
