Align scoping on errors for easier comprehension #18946

Also, applying highlighting would probably be helpful: |

There should also be backticks around either both or neither set of types, not just one. |

#### Updated 1/12/2014
I updated the multi-line testcase to current but didn't modify the others. The spew code was broke by the `matches!` macro no longer working and I'm not interested in fixing the testcase.
I additionally added one testcase below.
Errors will in general look similar to below if the error is either `mismatched types` or a few other types. The rest are ignored.
---
#### Extra testcase:
```rust
pub trait Foo {
type A;
fn boo(&self) -> <Self as Foo>::A;
}
struct Bar;
impl Foo for i32 {
type A = u32;
fn boo(&self) -> u32 {
42
}
}
fn foo1<I: Foo<A=Bar>>(x: I) {
let _: Bar = x.boo();
}
fn foo2<I: Foo>(x: I) {
let _: Bar = x.boo();
}
pub fn baz(x: &Foo<A=Bar>) {
let _: Bar = x.boo();
}
pub fn main() {
let a = 42i32;
foo1(a);
baz(&a);
}
```
#### Multi-line output:
```cmd
$ ./rustc test3.rs
test3.rs:20:18: 20:25 error: mismatched types:
expected `Bar`,
found `<I as Foo>::A`
(expected struct `Bar`,
found associated type)

^~~~~~~

This is a continuation of #19203 which I apparently broke by force pushing after it was closed. I'm attempting to add multi-line errors where they are largely beneficial - to help differentiate different types in compiler messages. As before, this is still a simple fix.
#### Testcase:
```rust
struct S;
fn test() -> Option<i32> {
let s: S;
s
}
fn test2() -> Option<i32> {
Ok(7) // Should be Some(7)
}
impl Iterator for S {
type Item = i32;
fn next(&mut self) -> Result<i32, i32> { Ok(7) }
}
fn main(){
test();
test2();
}
```

#### Single-line playpen errors:
```cmd
<anon>:6:5: 6:6 error: mismatched types: expected `core::option::Option<int>`, found `S` (expected enum core::option::Option, found struct S)
<anon>:6 s
^
<anon>:10:5: 10:10 error: mismatched types: expected `core::option::Option<int>`, found `core::result::Result<_, _>` (expected enum core::option::Option, found enum core::result::Result)
<anon>:10 Ok(7) // Should be Some(7)
^~~~~
<anon>:14:5: 14:55 error: method `next` has an incompatible type for trait: expected enum core::option::Option, found enum core::result::Result [E0053]
<anon>:14 fn next(&mut self) -> Result<uint, uint> { Ok(7) }
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to 3 previous errors
playpen: application terminated with error code 101
```

#### Multi-line errors:
```cmd

test.rs:6:5: 6:6 error: mismatched types:
expected `core::option::Option<i32>`,
found `S`
(expected enum `core::option::Option`,

test.rs:10 Ok(7) // Should be Some(7)
^~~~~
test.rs:15:5: 15:53 error: method `next` has an incompatible type for trait: expected enum `core::option::Option`, found enum `core::result::Result` [E0053]

#### Positive notes
* Vim worked fine with it: #19203 (comment)
* `make check` didn't find any errors
* Fixed *backtick* placement suggested by @p1start at #19203 (comment)
#### Negative notes
* Didn't check Emacs support but also wasn't provided a testcase...
* Needs to be tested with macro errors but I don't have a good testcase yet
* I would like to move the `E[0053]` earlier (see #19464 (comment)) but I don't know how
* It might be better to indent the types slightly like so (but I don't know how):
```cmd
test.rs:6:5: 6:6 error: mismatched types:
expected `core::option::Option<int>`,
found `S`
(expected enum `core::option::Option`,
found struct `S`)
test.rs:6 s
```
* Deep whitespace indentation may be a bad idea because early wrapping will cause misalignment between lines
#### Other
* I thought that compiler flags or something else (environment variables maybe) might be required because of comments against it but now that seems too much of a burden for users and for too little gain.
* There was concern that it will make large quantities of errors difficult to distinguish but I don't find that an issue. They both look awful and multi-line errors makes the types easier to understand.
