MyPy doesn't seem to know that dataclasses add __eq__

Bug Report

MyPy doesn't seem to understand that dataclasses can generate an __eq__ method. If it's required (such as in an ABC), then it doesn't know that it was created.

To Reproduce

import dataclasses
import abc

@dataclasses.dataclass(eq=False)
class AbstractEq(abc.ABC):
    @abc.abstractmethod
    def __eq__(self, other: object) -> bool:
        pass

@dataclasses.dataclass
class ConcreteEq(AbstractEq):
    x: int

print(ConcreteEq(1) == ConcreteEq(1))

Expected Behavior

This should pass. It does at runtime. dataclasses do add __eq__ unless eq=False.

Actual Behavior

main.py:14: error: Cannot instantiate abstract class "ConcreteEq" with abstract attribute "__eq__"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

I didn't see any other issues that were exactly this issue.

Sort of a duplicate of #12186, but you've put forward a better reason for fixing the bug than my reason :)

I can confirm the issue. I may be wrong, but I think it might be related to #8638. Could it be that the code for dataclass.__eq__ was simply removed without being reworked?
