Allow re-using the same symbol for the fiber and error. This allows you to write code like (try (print "hi") ([_ _] (print "oh no"))), fixing a regression introduced in janet-lang#1605.

This code should work regardless of the Janet version used, and we can back it out after janet-lang/janet#1659 lands upstream.

Thanks for the report and the fix (and sorry we broke things!). Would you mind adding a test to help prevent regressions? |

The following code worked before Janet 1.39.0, but now errors:
#1605 introduced a nicer way to ignore the "arguments" in the catch clause, but in doing so broke this pattern.
I realize that's equivalent to
(try (print "something") ([_] (print "oh no"))), which still works, but I was used to writing the above to make it less likely that I would forget about the fiber argument if I changed code to something that wanted to re-raise. So upgrading to Janet 1.39.0 broke some code in the wild.
