feat: hint when an autobound variable's type fails to be a function (#11518)
This PR provides an additional hint when the type of an autobound
implicit is required to have function type or equality type — this
fails, and the existing error message does not address the fact that the
source of the error is an unknown identifier that was automatically
bound.

## Example

```
import Lean
example : MetaM String := pure ""
```

Current error message:
```
Function expected at
  MetaM
but this term has type
  ?m

Note: Expected a function because this term is being applied to the argument
  String
```

Additional error message provided by this PR:
```
Hint: The identifier `MetaM` is unknown, and Lean's `autoImplicit` option 
causes an unknown identifier to be treated as an implicitly bound variable 
with an unknown type. However, the unknown type cannot be a function, and a 
function is what Lean expects here. This is often the result of a typo or a 
missing `import` or `open` statement.

feat: improve projection and field-notation errors (#8986)
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.
