cmd/compile/internal/gc: reword "declared and not used" error message

"declared and not used" is technically correct, but might confuse
the user. Switching "and" to "but" will hopefully create the
contrast for the users: they did one thing (declaration), but
not the other --- actually using the variable.

This new message is still not ideal (specifically, declared is not
entirely precise here), but at least it matches the other parsers
and is one step in the right direction.
