Rollup merge of #124099 - voidc:disallow-ambiguous-expr-attrs, r=davidtwco

Disallow ambiguous attributes on expressions

This implements the suggestion in [#15701](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15701#issuecomment-2033124217) to disallow ambiguous outer attributes on expressions. This should resolve one of the concerns blocking the stabilization of `stmt_expr_attributes`.
