Rollup merge of #28485 - Wallacoloo:clarify-let-lhs, r=alexcrichton
In code like `let x = 5`, I am initially confused as to the meaning of "let doesn't take a name on the left hand side, it actually accepts a pattern." - I interpret that as the pattern being located as: `<pattern> let [...]`. I think what is meant is that the name/pattern is on the left hand side *of the assignment*, rather than to the left of the *let* statement. This change clarifies that.
