Rollup merge of #54413 - memoryruins:deref-error-twice, r=estebank

Add UI test for deref recursion limit printing twice

Closes #38940

Does ``NOTE`` in the test need to be changed to ``HELP`` if its in the stderr?
``help: consider adding a `#![recursion_limit="20"]` attribute to your crate``

It doesn't appear to complaining locally that the line isn't set to ``HELP`` in the test, and the guide says
 > HELP and SUGGESTION*
> * Note: SUGGESTION must follow immediately after HELP.

yet there's no concrete suggestion emitted.
