Improve handling of expr->field errors

The current message for "`->` used for field access" is the following:

```rust
error: expected one of `!`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `{`, `}`, or an operator, found `->`
 --> src/main.rs:2:6
  |
2 |     a->b;
  |      ^^ expected one of 8 possible tokens
```

(playground link[1])

This PR tries to address this by adding a dedicated error message and recovery. The proposed error message is:

```
error: `->` used for field access or method call
 --> ./tiny_test.rs:2:6
  |
2 |     a->b;
  |      ^^ help: try using `.` instead
  |
  = help: the `.` operator will dereference the value if needed
```

(feel free to bikeshed it as much as necessary)
