Issue Description:

A standalone do block without the optional catch block, followed by a while block will generate the error "'do-while' statement is not allowed; use 'repeat-while' instead". This is caused by a diagnostic for dealing with legacy code using "do-while". The error disappears if the statements are separated with a semicolon.

The diagnostic could be improved by suggesting the semicolon or taking the separating newlines into account. cc @belkadan

@rintaro, think this is simple enough for a starter bug?

@belkadan how do you think this should be handled? Is semicolon in the end of the do block sufficient in this case?

The semicolon would be sufficient, but it's not really standard Swift, and it would stand out in a function with no other semicolons. I'd go for suggesting the extra newline myself; Rintaro may also have suggestions.

I agree. How would an extra newline help in this case?

Swift doesn't have do-while loops at all anymore, so we're just trying to decide when to emit the diagnostic. If the compiler can guess that the developer probably didn't write a do-while loop by accident (and was instead using a do block followed by a normal while loop), then it can just not emit the diagnostic.
