The same way as we list alternatives when someone
misspells a $context variable, we should do the same
when eliding a read-only variable:

probe foo = bar { var1="foo" }
probe foo { prinln(var) }  # <- should list "var1" as an alternative

Then one can *list* local variables available in a probe using
a hack like
   % stap -e "probe SOMEWHERE { nosuchvar }"
   WARNING: read-only local variable nosuchvar (alternatives: foo, bar, baz) ...

(It's conceivable to also warn for the "var1" side of the
mismatch, in the "eliding unused local variable" branch in
elaborate.cxx:semantic_pass_opt2.)
