Part 2: Remove SpiderMonkey support for nonstandard let expressions.

This patch removes let expressions, but leaves let blocks for now. This work was easier to do in separate steps.

Nit: could you change the pseudocode to

{
  let array = new Array, i, j;
  ...
  array
}

That is, add an extra pair of { } around everything. Otherwise it looks like we're introducing new bindings into an existing block scope.

Not yet. There are some remaining let issues described in tracking bug 950547.

Yeah, sorry, forgot about that one.
