Suggest parentheses when a struct literal needs them

When writing a struct literal in an expression that expects a block to
be started afterwards (like an `if` statement), do not suggest using the
same struct literal:

```
did you mean `S { /* fields * /}`?
```

Instead, suggest surrounding the expression with parentheses:

```
did you mean `(S { /* fields * /})`?
```

Fix rust-lang#47360, rust-lang#50090. Leaving rust-lang#42982 open to come back to this problem with a better solution.
