Rollup merge of #100130 - compiler-errors:erroneous-return-span, r=lcnr
Avoid pointing out `return` span if it has nothing to do with type error
This code:
```rust
fn f(_: String) {}
fn main() {
let x = || {
if true {
return ();
}
f("");
};
}
```
Emits this:
```

Specifically, that note has nothing to do with the type error in question. This is because the change implemented in #84244 tries to point out the `return` span on _any_ type coercion error within a closure that happens after a `return` statement, regardless of if the error has anything to do with it.
This is really easy to trigger -- just needs a closure (or an `async`) and an early return (or any other form, e.g. `?` operator suffices) -- and super distracting in production codebases. I'm letting #84128 regress because that issue is much harder to fix correctly, and I can re-open that issue after this lands.
As a drive-by, I added a `resolve_vars_if_possible` to the coercion error logic, which leads to some error improvements. Unrelated to the issue above, though.
