Paul Berry 3713c0e264 Patterns parser: prohibit variable/identifier patterns named when/as.
In https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/299400, the parser was
adjusted so that it no longer accepts `when` and `as` as the names for
variable patterns in cases where there is a possible ambiguity
(e.g. `int when` is not accepted as a pattern because `int` is a
legitimate pattern, therefore `when` could introduce a guard
clause). This change further prohibits `when` and `as` from being the
names of variable patterns or identifier patterns even in the case
where there is no ambiguity. This is in line with the discussion at
https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/52199#issuecomment-1526297771,
and the spec change at
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/pull/3033.

Three new error codes are introduced, to cover the three circumstances
in which `when` or `as` might be used illegally: in a declared
variable pattern, in an assigned variable pattern, or in an identifier
pattern. I've also added analyzer tests to ensure that the parser
recovers from these errors nicely. Unfortunately, nice error recovery
is only feasible in the non-ambiguous cases.

I've also updated the language test expectations in
`tests/language/patterns/version_2_32_changes_error_test.dart` to
reflect the new error messages, and added a few more examples of uses
of `when` and `as` that are still permitted.

Fixes #52260.
