cmd/compile/internal/syntax: better error msg for some 'if' statements

Browse source 
R=go1.11

A common error is to write '=' instead of '==' inside the condition
of a simple 'if' statement:

	if x = 0 { ... }

Highlight the fact that we have an assignment in the error message
to prevent further confusion.

Fixes #23385.
