Rollup merge of #120460 - nnethercote:fix-120397, r=compiler-errors

Be more careful about interpreting a label/lifetime as a mistyped char literal.

Currently the parser interprets any label/lifetime in certain positions as a mistyped char literal, on the assumption that the trailing single quote was accidentally omitted. In such cases it gives an error with a suggestion to add the trailing single quote, and then puts the appropriate char literal into the AST. This behaviour was introduced in #101293.

This is reasonable for a case like this:
```
let c = 'a;
```
because `'a'` is a valid char literal. It's less reasonable for a case like this:
```
let c = 'abc;
```
because `'abc'` is not a valid char literal.

Prior to #120329 this could result in some sub-optimal suggestions in error messages, but nothing else. But #120329 changed `LitKind::from_token_lit` to assume that the char/byte/string literals it receives are valid, and to assert if not. This is reasonable because the lexer does not produce invalid char/byte/string literals in general. But in this "interpret label/lifetime as unclosed char literal" case the parser can produce an invalid char literal with contents such as `abc`, which triggers an assertion failure.

This PR changes the parser so it's more cautious about interpreting labels/lifetimes as unclosed char literals.

Fixes #120397.
