Alberto Donizetti 7ee35cb301 cmd/compile: be more specific in cannot assign errors
"cannot assign to" compiler errors are very laconic: they never
explain why the lhs cannot be assigned to (with one exception, when
assigning to a struct field in a map).

This change makes them a little more specific, in two more cases: when
assigning to a string, or to a const; by giving a very brief reason
why the lhs cannot be assigned to.
