cmd/compile: better recovery after := (rather than =) in declarations

Before this fix, a mistaken := in a (const/type/var) declaration
ended that declaration with an error from which the parser didn't
recover well. This low-cost change will provide a better error
message and lets the parser recover perfectly.

Fixes #31092.
