[issue26188] Provide more helpful error message when `await` is called inside non-`async` method

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I’m not that familiar with the parser either. Maybe I remember a flag or something saying “we are inside an async def function”, which changes “await” from a user identifier into a reserved keyword. But I can’t imagine how that flag will help much with this proposal. The problem I think is “await” is never treated as a reserved keyword when the flag is not set.
