[syntax-errors] Detect single starred expression assignment x = *y (#17624) 
## Summary

Part of #17412

Starred expressions cannot be used as values in assignment expressions.
Add a new semantic syntax error to catch such instances.
Note that we already have
`ParseErrorType::InvalidStarredExpressionUsage` to catch some starred
expression errors during parsing, but that does not cover top level
assignment expressions.

## Test Plan

- Added new inline tests for the new rule
- Found some examples marked as "valid" in existing tests (`_ = *data`),
which are not really valid (per this new rule) and updated them
- There was an existing inline test - `assign_stmt_invalid_value_expr`
which had instances of `*` expression which would be deemed invalid by
this new rule. Converted these to tuples, so that they do not trigger
this new rule.

Ruff Python Parser

Ruff's Python parser is a hand-written recursive descent parser which can parse Python source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It also utilizes the Pratt parsing technique to parse expressions with different precedence.

Try out the parser in the playground.

Python version support

The parser supports the latest Python syntax, which is currently Python 3.12. It does not throw syntax errors if it encounters a syntax feature that is not supported by the target-version. This will be fixed in a future release (see https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/6591).
