localvars could already nest, it's just that this change makes the
nesting explicit instead of on the C stack.

Further comments inline.

This change does not do poplocalvars() if the function was exited with
an error. While this is normally not a problem because the shell exits
or executes the RESET actions, 'command eval', 'command .' and 'fc' will
"catch" any errors and continue normally.

Example (with the below "disallow local outside a function" change):
  dash -c 'f() { unset xyz; ${xyz?}; }; command eval f; local i'

This change (failing local outside functions), while a good idea, should
be mentioned in the commit message/changelog, as it might break certain
scripts.

(Note that in mksh local is an alias for typeset, which will work
outside functions.)
