patch 8.1.1188: not all Vim variables require the v: prefix

commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/d2e716e6dfd50b605867c7c684373384c8edf707

    patch 8.1.1188: not all Vim variables require the v: prefix

    Problem:    Not all Vim variables require the v: prefix.
    Solution:   When scriptversion is 3 all Vim variables can only be used with
                the v: prefix.  (Ken Takata, closes #4274)
