For the following error code: https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html#E0432

I think it's useful to suggest that the following statement may be needed for main.rs:

extern crate <name>;

It actually does say that in the error message:

expr.rs:5:6: 5:15 error: unresolved import `something::Foo`. Maybe a missing `extern crate something`? [E0432]
expr.rs:5 {use something::Foo;}

But not on the error explanations page.

Improve the detailed error message for E0432

The command-line error message for E0432 does mention the possibility of
missing the `extern crate` declaration, but the detailed error message
for it doesn't.

Fixes rust-lang#29517.
