Parser: Suggest Placing the Return Type After Function Parameters

Fixes rust-lang#126311

This PR suggests placing the return type after the function parameters when it's misplaced after a `where` clause.

This also tangentially improves diagnostics for cases like [this](https://github.com/veera-sivarajan/rust/blob/86d6f1312a77997ef994240e716288d61a343a6d/tests/ui/parser/issues/misplaced-return-type-without-where-issue-126311.rs#L1C1-L1C28) and adds doc comments for `parser::AllowPlus`.
