cmd/compile/internal/syntax: differentiate between ';' and '\n' in syntax errors

Towards better syntax error messages: With this change, the parser knows whether
a semicolon was an actual ';' in the source, or whether it was an automatically
inserted semicolon as result of a '\n' or EOF. Using this information in error
messages makes them more understandable.

For #17328.
