D9343: errors: restructure formatparse() to clarify conditions a bit

REVISION SUMMARY
  The `similar` list will be calculated only for
  `error.UnknownIdentifier`. It was then printed only if `inst.location
  is None`, which is true for that exception type, but it's an indirect
  condition to rely on.
  
  Also, it looked from the code like it could both report similarities
  and print a hint. That would be a little awkward because the
  similarity report looks similar to the hint (both are printed within
  parentheses). I also added a `elif` to clarify that. I plan to
  refactor this more coming patches so the similarity report actually is
  a hint.
