missing-function-docstring when overriding methods of generic classes with undefined type parameters

[JulianJvn]

Bug description

Pylint doesn't give missing-function-docstring messages for methods that @override base class methods that have docstrings. This is good.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work if the base class is generic and pylint can't resolve the type parameter. So there is a missing-function-docstring message given in this case.

An example where this happens is protobuf: The Python code generated by protobuf doesn't have the classes in it, instead they are generated at runtime. (The protobuf compiler protoc is able to generate *.pyi files with type stubs of the class definition, but due to #6281 pylint is not able to resolve them.)

Here is some example code to reproduce it without protobuf:

"""Repro code."""
# pylint: disable=undefined-variable
import abc
from typing import Generic, override, TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")

class AbstractClass(abc.ABC, Generic[T]):
    """Abstract class."""
    @abc.abstractmethod
    def method(self) -> T:
        """Abstract method."""

class Subclass(AbstractClass[foo]):
    """Concrete class."""
    @override
    def method(self) -> foo:
        return 42

When working with protobuf, substitute for example MyProtoFile_pb2.MyMessage for foo, where MyProtoFile_pb2 is the module generated by protoc. The MyMessage member is only generated at runtime, so instead of undefined-variable you have to disable no-member (but this issue is not about that). The missing-function-docstring error is the same, and I assume also the cause.

I'm able to suppress the no-member messages with ignored-modules, but how do I get rid of the missing-function-docstring messages?
