feat(:source, nvim_exec): defer script item creation until s:var access

For anonymous scripts, defer the creation of script items until an attempt to access a script-local
variable is made. This dramatically reduces the number of script items created when using lots of
vim.cmd and nvim_exec especially.

This will mean <SID> usage fails until a script-local variable access is first made.
