don't check status of symbol as variable when parsing at top level (bug #60882)

* lex.ll (base_lexer::handle_identifier): Don't check whether
identifier is a top-level variable.  Matlab apparently doesn't check
either, so the behavior is the same whether at the command line or in
a function or script.
