Extended error message for mut borrow conflicts in loops

RFC issue: rust-lang/rfcs#2080

The error message for multiple mutable borrows on the same value over loop iterations now makes it clear that the conflict comes from the borrow outlasting the loop. The wording of the error is based on the special case of the moved-value error for a value moved in a loop. Following the example of that error, the code remains the same for the special case.

This is mainly because I felt the current message is confusing in the loop case : #43437. It's not clear that the two conflicting borrows are in different iterations of the loop, and instead it just looks like the compiler has an issue with a single line.
