Suggest path separator for single-colon typos

This commit adds guidance for when a user means to type a path, but ends
up typing a single colon, such as `<<Impl as T>:Ty>`.

This change seemed pertinent as the current error message is
particularly misleading, emitting `error: unmatched angle bracket`,
despite the angle bracket being matched later on, leaving the user to
track down the typo'd colon.
