bug#34234: 27.0.50; local defvar and special-variable-p

[Sebastian Miele]

;; Run ./src/emacs -Q, put this into *scratch*, and C-x C-e through
;; what follows outside of comments.
;;
(setq lexical-binding t)
;;
;; The expression
;;
(progn
  (defvar x)
  (special-variable-p 'x))
;;
;; evaluates to nil. But in fact x is special in that context, as
;; described in the Elisp manual, and as witnessed by e.g.
;;
(funcall (progn
           (setq x 0)
           (defvar x)
           (let ((x 1)) (lambda () x))))
;;
;; evaluating to 0.
