fix(compiler): confusing error when trying to use private constructor

[Chriscbr]

Fixes #3331

Besides updating this error message, I also updated other error messages to standardize around the name "constructor". This is the name used most in the language reference, and it's probably the most familiar to users coming from TypeScript, so sticking to one terminology in our errors should help make the language feel more cohesive.
