Rollup merge of #89974 - est31:let_else_if_error, r=nagisa

Nicer error message if the user attempts to do let...else if

Gives a nice "conditional `else if` is not supported for `let...else`" error when encountering a `let...else if` pattern, as suggested in the [let...else tracking issue](#87335 (comment)).
