Description
We currently have a very specific test for chained comparisons on lines 506-508:
https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-pyi/blob/34c17bd7d847905aacf4705dfc95e25ab12ce432/pyi.py#L506-L508
However, we then give a generic error message:
"Y002 If test must be a simple comparison against sys.platform or sys.version_info"
If we split this off into its own error code, we could give a much more specific error message:
YXXX Chained comparisons are not supported by type-checkers

Research direction
Start at pyi.py lines 506-508 and trace how the chained-comparison case currently produces Y002. Define the separate error-code behavior and verify that the chained-comparison test now reports the specific message while the existing generic cases remain covered.
