ridiculousfish 1bba97984b Fix vared of indexed value
You can use an index with vared, like `vared PATH[4]`. However this was
inadverently broken in fa2450db30, because you cannot use `read` to
modify an element of a variable, only the whole variable. Fix this.

Unfortunately this means using another local variable, so we name it
__fish_vared_temp_value instead of just temp so that collisions are
unlikely.
