Rollup merge of #60037 - eddyb:actually-its-param, r=estebank

Resolve inconsistency in error messages between "parameter" and "variable".

The inconsistency was introduced in 104fe1c4db24f860b890dfd25577f23ee111279a (#33619), when a label saying `type variable` was added to an error with a message talking about `type parameters`.
Given that `parameter` is far more prevalent when referring to generics in the context of Rust, IMO it should be that in both the message and the label.
