Because of the backward compatibility issues, I'm not going to change the f-string parser for this. We'll just need to document the requirements for using parens if you want to use :=. This is similar to the existing documentation about lambdas and f-strings in https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#formatted-string-literals

Patches welcome!

To be clear: like lambdas, this is just limitation of embedding expressions inside strings, and it's also a limitation because format specs can start with equal signs. It's not a restriction because I think f-strings shouldn't contain "top-level" := expressions.
