Paul Gschwendtner 4a2fb86b1e refactor(core): polish failure messages for template-var-assignment schematic (#29708)
Improves the failure messages for the `template-var-assignment` schematic. After manual
testing of the schematic it's not quite clear for developers what the failure message means
without any context. The schematic now also references a short markdown file mentioning
what needs to be changed, but eventually this document needs to be expanded with more
information and context of the reasoning behind this change within Ivy.

Assignments to template variables

With Ivy, assignments to template variables are no longer supported as template variables are effectively constants.

This means that assignments to template variables will break your application once Ivy is enabled by default. For example:

<button *ngFor="let option of options"
       (click)="option = 'newButtonText'">
  {{ option }}
</button>

In the example from above, a value is assigned to the option template variable on click. This will ultimately break your application and therefore the logic needs to be adjusted to not update the option variable, but rather the given element in the options array:

<button *ngFor="let option of options; let idx = index"
       (click)="options[idx] = 'newButtonText'">
  {{ option }}
</button>
