Summary: Better error message for method-level/instance-level
name confusions

This program:
struct Foo {
void bar() {
int spam;
// Some stuff here.
this.spam++;
}
}
void main() {}
DMD2.061alpha gives:
test.d(5): Error: undefined identifier 'spam'
Here spam is a method-level name instead of a instance-level attribute. In
complex methods that error message doesn't give enough help.
So I suggest a better error message, something like:
test.d(4): Error: undefined identifier 'this.spam', did you mean 'spam'?
Other error messages are possible, that mention more explicitly that there is a
method-level identifier with the same name.
