This PR improves the error messages produced by invalid projections and
field notation. It also adds a hint to the "function expected" error
message noting the argument to which the term is being applied, which
can be helpful for debugging spurious "function expected" messages
actually caused by syntax errors.

This PR modifies the pretty printer so that dot notation is used for
class parent projections. Previously, dot notation was never used for
classes.
We still need to modify dot notation to take the method resolution order
into account when collapsing parent projections.
This PR fixes an issue where `x.f.g` wouldn't work but `(x.f).g` would
when `x.f` is generalized field notation. The problem was that `x.f.g`
would assume `x : T` should be the first explicit argument to `T.f`. Now
it uses consistent argument insertion rules. Closes#6400.
This also improves the algorithm for finding a relevant argument. Before
it would try looking at the type and the whnf of the type, but now it
iteratively unfolds types, checking each intermediate expansion.
