Johannes Altmanninger 992c864f26 Don't overwrite unrelated variables with for-loop-variables
for-loops that were not inside a function could overwrite global
and universal variables with the loop variable.  Avoid this by making
for-loop-variables local variables in their enclosing scope.

This means that if someone does:

    set a global
    for a in local; end
    echo $a

The local $a will shadow the global one (but not be visible in child
scopes). Which is surprising, but less dangerous than the previous
behavior.

The detection whether the loop is running inside a function was failing
inside command substitutions. Remove this special handling of functions
alltogether, it's not needed anymore.

Fixes #6480
