py/compile: Simplify syntax-error messages for illegal assignments.

With this patch all illegal assignments are reported as "can't assign to
expression".  Before the patch there were special cases for a literal on
the LHS, and for augmented assignments (eg +=), but it seems a waste of
bytes (and there are lots of bytes used in error messages) to spend on
distinguishing such errors which a user will rarely encounter.
