[parser] Prohibit async functions and generators in invalid contexts

Async functions and generator declarations are only permitted as
StatementListItems, not as ExpressionStatements, and therefore not
as the entire body of an if statement, etc. Previously, they were
incorrectly permitted. However, ChakraCore and SpiderMonkey seem
to ban them in this context, and the feature was introduced relatively
recently, so it is likely to be web-compatible to ship the prohibition.

This patch also unifies the error message wording of async functions
and generators to ordinary functions, explaining more clearly what
the issue is.
