Add help message for incorrect pattern syntax
When I was getting started with rust I often made the mistake of using `||` instead of `|` to match multiple patterns and spent a long time staring at my code wondering what was wrong.
for example:
```
fn main() {
let x = 1;
match x {
1 || 2 => println!("1 or 2"),
_ => println!("Something else"),
}
}
```
If you compile this with current rustc you will see
```
error: expected one of `...`, `..=`, `..`, `=>`, `if`, or `|`, found `||`
--> test.rs:5:11
|
5 | 1 || 2 => println!("1 or 2"),
| -^^ unexpected token
| |
| expected one of `...`, `..=`, `..`, `=>`, `if`, or `|` here
error: aborting due to previous error
```
With my proposed change it will show:
```
error: unexpected token `||` after pattern
--> test.rs:5:11
|
5 | 1 || 2 => println!("1 or 2"),
| ^^
|
= help: did you mean to use `|` to specify multiple patterns instead?
error: aborting due to previous error
```
