patch 8.2.3137: Vim9: no error when a line only has a variable name

Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c323527d67081cfaff22503d1d282495976c7042

    patch 8.2.3137: Vim9: no error when a line only has a variable name

    Problem:    Vim9: no error when a line only has a variable name.
    Solution:   Give an error when an expression is evaluated without an effect.
                (closes #8538)
