Remove suggestion about iteration count in coerce

Fixes rust-lang#122561

The iteration count-centric suggestion was implemented in PR rust-lang#100094, but it was based on the wrong assumption that the type mismatch error depends on the number of times the loop iterates. As it turns out, that is not true (see this comment for details: rust-lang#122679 (comment))

This PR attempts to remedy the situation by changing the suggestion from the one centered on iteration count to a simple suggestion to add a return value.

It should also fix rust-lang#100285 by simply making it redundant.
