* tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete
protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2. * generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against attempts to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug #3453). This could happen if there was an unset trace on an array element and the trace proc made a global or upvar link to the array, and then the array was unset at the global level. See the bug reference for more information. FossilOrigin-Name: f0922bda2d3f3ce7007f5a9ac7749465a40f363f
